On I Joined the Peace Corps to Keep From Becoming an Asshole (It Worked, Mostly)
@j-i-a -- You're a champion for that PCV record-- I was a PCV in a year in Mauritania, took IS a couple weeks before the evacuation, and seriously, anyone who doesn't get IS just doesn't get it. Serving now as a response volunteer in China-- maybe that will get my asshole-development (to more or less of an asshole) to 75% completion?

@j-i-a I think Response postings vary as much as original postings-- maybe more towards city postings, as they are train-the-trainer positions in a lot of programs. The China program is currently all university level ESL, so we're in cities and county towns that are at least big enough for their own Unis. There's some interesting talk in Chengdu about program directions, but no big official changes that I know of. It's hard to say how different the China office is from the old Mauritania office-- It seems very supportive... the bureaucracy is similar, but everything about day to day life is completely different between the two places...
