There Are New Kids On the Block

Listen up everybody if you wanna take a chance
Just get on the floor and do the New Kids dance
Don’t worry about nothing cause it won’t take long
We’re gonna put you in a trance with the funky song

I’m not sure if the new trainees come with a funky song, but they sure are the new kids on the block.  On the Peace Corps block, that is.  We talked about the first sighting a few months back, and since then quite a few PCVs here have been answering questions and facebook-stalking the incoming class of future PCVs.  Now that moment is here.  Actually, that moment came a few days ago.  They arrived on Friday night, with a few stragglers coming in today due to visa issues.  That means we’ve increased the Peace Corps population in country by about 50%.  Our new friends are now at the lovely Neapol Hotel, enjoying a welcome from some of our current PCV crew and the PC staff.  It’s orientation time.  Good luck getting oriented to Azerbaijan!
