The Invitation Kit

The much-awaited kit arrived today, only three days after it was mailed. I'm going to miss American mail service.

It contains quite a wealth of information: a pamphlet on my assignment, a booklet on cultural adjustment, the volunteer handbook (read: rulebook), the welcome book for China, and a booklet for family entitled "On the Home Front." Has a nice patriotic ring, no? :0)

In addition, there are bunch of folders, my passport and visa info, resume instructions, finance info, staging information, and "domestic connections" which is a chance to penpal with American schools, etc.

I look forward to wading through all of this fun stuff, and I'll keep you posted!
