It's that time! N@ does Burkina Faso!

So the time has come to say goodbye... to Toronto, anyway. I have gathered all the essential goods and have attempted to logically pack my bag... 

I think I've remembered everything. I had made numerous list in hopes to avoid forgetting anything... I figure if there is anything else that I desperately need it'll be part of the learning experience, living without it. Thanks Mir and Alex for loaning me the bag, it is definitely doing the job.

I have another suitcase that I am bringing with me which is so far about half full (*see how optimistic/positive I am?? haha) of french books, some clothes and shoes, a puzzle of the Map of Canada, and a box of a hundred toothbrushes (kindly donated by my dentist Dr. Joe  - Thanks!!). I have a couple more pick-ups to do tonight which will hopefully fill up the rest of the suitcase and, if not, I'm pretty sure my other teammates will have stuff that they will need to find space for... 

Orientation should be fun... I have a feeling it's going to be a bunch of team building initiative game type-of-things.... Meh... Should be alright. I must say I kinda would just like to fast-forward to the airport part but everything in due time. :)

So that's it for now. Can't believe the time has finally come for me to head to the motherland! Very very sureal and I'm sure it won't fully hit me till I get off the plane but that's pretty much how it usually goes... 

Until next time :) (which will be from either the airport or Burkina)...

PEACE! and let the globe-trotting begin...
