T minus 17 days: Massachusetts, USA

Hi everyone!

Sooooo I'm leaving Mass in 17 days. How crazy is that! This is my blog, I hope you enjoy it. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and leave me pleasant comments :)

So I have my info. I don't know if I'm taking my computer yet, but if I do it'll be like I'm in your backyard with Skype, FB, AIM, GChat, and everything else. Emails will do and I will get back to them iA. I'll definitely have access to the internet at school and at internet cafes.

If you want to communicate the old fashioned way, my address is as follows:

Ayesha R
BP 10652
Niamey, Niger
West Africa

I'm going to try to let y'all in on what Niamey is like. I don't know too much about the city myself, but I have done some research.... using Google Earth.

So this is Niamey, Niger. If you squint it kind of looks like Boston, yeah? The river's there, a bridge etc. The pushpins and desert are part of the beautification project, you just missed out :). The pushpins are where I'm living and going to school. Heres a closer look:


The Pushpin on the southern side of the city is where the University of Abdou Moumouni is. That side of the city isn't as happening as the other side, so I'll be living across the bridge. I think I'm living near the government buildings and hotels, but I'm not super sure about that.

That's it so far. Hopefully I won't suck at updating this thing.


love ayesha
