We have our new assignments and we have to stay on this place for 3 months. The place being far from the city, has a very limited business establishments so we have to go to the nearby city in order to buy some of the things we needed in our new boarding house.
This is a totally new experience for all of us. However, we are also enjoying our stay here due to some reasons. First, we have a very kind supervisor, second, we enjoy riding on a bicycle attached to a sidecar. This is the form of transportation available when going to and from the office.
New friends, new world new experience.

Imagine if you were been placed in an isolated area. The town was so backward in everything. Can you managed to live like this? I am sure you can, I had this experienced but not here in my country, but in the other developing countries. I stayed there for a year with scarcity of the modern technologies.

And we are nearly done Shavkat! Two weeks more and we can go home permanently already. I had posted this experience several month ago and thank you for sharing similar experience. Life is hard but we have to move on.

It is a small town in our region. I can access myLot anywhere because I have with me a broadband.

i really like travelling and going to different places. It's good that you have a chance to explore new things because of your job. Can you tell of what kind of job do you have and why it requires you to be in different places

I am glad that you are are all coping well despite the fact that it is a new environment. I always believe that we as human beings we can always try and adapt to any environment no matter how akwarward or hard the environment seem to be. We have the ability to find a new coping mechanism in such situation like what you people are doing right now.

This new experience sounds wonderful for you. I remember when I lived in a rural village and it was a long bike ride into the city to get food and drink from the supermarket. The bus fare was pricy and it didn't go very often.
I moved in 2005 to a new area and got a new time in life. I was able to walk to the supermarket. I found the bus service better and cheaper. I loved being able to walk to the train station from that house I overlooked the fields from.
I stayed in the same area but moved again in 2010 to a bungalow ideal for my disabled son. I hope that you really enjoy your 3 month experience living in that new area.
