I have now arrived to my community of Santiago Suchilquitongo. It`s a beautiful place from where I can see much of the Oaxacan valley. My host family includes the Director of the Culture Center in the community and her son and daughter. The house is a very interesting place, as they have just started an internet cafe business, which means there are two computers set up for people to come and use for 8 pesos an hour. On the other hand, it is very much like a Latin American community, with animals everywhere and trucks with loudspeakers going by all the time. My partners Maya and Lindley live in houses about 20 minutes away, and I`m planning to go visit them after comida.
It`s still very strange to be so far from home and I think it will take a while to get used to. But this community seems like a great place for Project TECHNO and I think my host brother will be able to help a lot with the classes and stuff.
Until next time, adios!
