I have no idea how to properly sort out the past 2-3 days of my life. But I'll try.

I'm currently writing from an internet cafe in downtown Calapan City, which is about 10 minutes crazy car ride from the Coconut Farm Resort that myself and my 3 team members are currently staying at. I just want to add that a strange hardcore-ish version of "This is Halloween" from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack is playing. Before this was the Monster Mash, so apparently they have Halloween here!
Aaaaanyway, it definitely took me about 27 hours of travel time to reach the lovely island of Mindoro, so by the time I'd gone from the plane to the other plane to the cab to the bus to the ferry to the van to the coconut farm, I was in for it. Luckily, the Jet-lag didn't hit me too bad, except for the fact that I woke up at 5am (the international clock on my ipod told me it was 6am!) I had a nice morning watching the sun rise over the giant rice fields that surround the "resort," and hanging out with water buffalo.
I have 4 team members doing the mini-medical school with me. I will have to describe them to you next time, as our group needs to get going back to the base, but I'll be sure to find some time soon to come back for a proper update. I'm sorry this one is so lacking!!! But I guess now you all know that I made it here safe and sound and that I'm thinking of everyone back home! I just re-read this and realize that it's terrible, but I really have to go, so my apologies! But look for a proper update soon, for I have much to tell.
