A place that will let me be slightly less bored at work.
A place that will let you see what I'm thinking about.
A place that will let me be lazy, and do no real development.
A place for you.
A place for me.

Peace Corps. Speculation

So now that I know Africa is my destination, I couldn't help but wonder what country specifically I might go to. I've been poking around on the Peace Corps. website, and have come to the conclusion that I may be going to Cape Verde. While I'm not 100% sure of course, I think of the choices of countries where Peace Corps volunteers serve CV is the only one I could find that even made mention of having an IT program. Curious to see what the situation there would be like, I was quite pleased to see that CV has a relatively nice climate, and a well developed infrastructure. Cabo Verde Telecom is in charge of the information, and they've installed a fiber ring around the (I believe) 9 islands that make up CV. Additionally cell phones have been around since 1998. From what I read on the CIA world-fact book ISDN lines are even available. So I think I'm going to be hoping for CV! I mean, decent weather, possibility of Internet... how could it go wrong?! Oh, I suppose since it's a series of islands there is probably a lot of fish in the diet... that could suck =P
