Oh my... I forgot about this video. If you want to see some pictures of what Mauritania looks like watch this Youtube video. As you watch it keep in mind that the donkey is really a metaphor for what happens to your spirit as a young American living here.

PS-In retrospect this blog seems kind of depressing, if you're not familiar with me and my humor please be aware that while I am sincere about the metaphor here I find this countries continued attempts to beat me into submission quite entertaining!

Make a Starving Brandon in Africa Happy...
This is my REAL address for the duration of my time here. It should take like 3 weeks for stuff to get to me. Any kind of snack foods, canned foods, spices, cake mixes, peanut butter... and most importantly drink mixes, like kool-aid... loved and welcome. And candy that can survive the trip! Oh, and finally Pirate gear.

Some Resources From the Peace Corps
Oh yeah.. gotta say this stuff.
Nothing expressed on this page, be it in English, broken French, Pig Latin, through pictodiagram or through streams of curse words represent the view of the United States Government, The Peace Corps, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Sanity, Common Sense, Democrats, Kansasns, University of Puget Sound Alums, Bi-Racial people of America, anyone with whom I am friends on MySpace or Facebook or any groups of which I am a member on said social internet gather sites... But they are me. So enjoy.
