Notes from Charlotte:
I'm not sure this message will reach you because I'm sending it via a
portable satelite connection courtesy of a National Geographic photographer
I was lucky enough to run into down here. Of course, there is obviously no
internet here in Charlotte.
I'm a having a great time. The people here are so friendly even though they
have so little. It just goes to show that you don't need all the things we
have back in Chapel Hill to be happy.
The culture here is so different: the customs, the clothing, greetings, etc.
Can you beleive that they don't have sensors that turn on your water
faucets for you. You have to do it by hand!!! The hardest part has been
getting used to the food. You wouldn't believe the things they eat here.
I don't know when I'll be able to contact you again, but I just wanted to
tell you that I made the trip safely and I'm doing all right here so far.
Wish me luck,
Matt
