Why have I never heard of this country? I see from Wikipedia that it became a thing around 1960, but I'm totally positive that it was never in any of my geography books growing up. drat, primary school education sucks balls with respect to Africa

How does the peace corp work, in terms of volunteering? I talked to a few volunteer organisations when I was right out of high school, and they seemed more like a "pay several thousand dollars to go there, dig some trenches, and get some photo ops" Obviously, your arrangement seems much better, both for you, and the local population The_Continental posted:

What was the deal with the hosts? Did you ship in and stay with them for a few months, and then get your own place? Do they serially take in volunteers? What I'm getting at is: Do they just have a neverending stream (heh) of extremely westerners that can't stop making GBS threads everywhere?

What were the languages like? In many developing countries, local languages can be a pidgin that wouldn't be that hard to pick up. Some mixture of the actual historic local language and Spanish/English usually, but maybe French/English in OP's case. Dunno if that's actually the case, just presenting that as a reasonable possibility
