Jim’s in country and getting settled in.
According to him:
--I made it to the school but only with the mercy of strangers that came to my rescue like little angels. One even kept a taxi driver from ripping me off. Classes start tomorrow so I’ll start picking up the language.
--I haven’t slept for 48 hours because I was running to catch buses and metros. Luckily picking the correct routes, but I’m here, and all the students, including my roommate are awesome.
