CIEE Orientation day 1

This whole week was CIEE orientation to make sure everyone is adjusting well and no one is too culturally shocked yet.

Tuesday, we moved into one of the dorms called Graca Machel. We will stay here until we move into our prospective houses/dorms on Saturday. Graca Machel is named after Nelson Mandela's wife, whom was married to the Mozambican president a while back (before he died). She's the only person in the world who has married two presidents from two different countries.
The rooms are very very small, but big enough to fit a twin bed, desk, sink and a decent closet. Each wing of the dorm has a bathroom with toilets and showers and a communal kitchen with table. Everyone was exhausted and we all went to bed super early.
