I've Got Mail (well, a mailing address anyway)

Hey everyone! I have received my mailing address for my first three months in Swaziland. If you are a letter writer or post card writer or you like to color pictures in crayon or... you just like sending blank paper in the mail, send those sentiments south! It takes about 2-3 weeks for mail to travel between Swaziland and America, so now is the time to start sending letters... if you feel like it. My address is:

Katie Walters, PCV
PO Box 2797
Mbabane H100, Swaziland
AFRICA

Please note the stressed importance of AFRICA on the bottom of the address. Swaziland shares a very similar postal code to Switzerland and it only takes one keystroke from a busy postal worker for a letter or a package to end up in Luzern rather than Mbabane... and as much fun as I had in Luzern last fall, I don't think my friend Lukas will have much use for a bunch of letters written in English. This is the address to use if sending something through the postal service. If for some reason you wish to send something through a courier service (like DHL) it will be significantly more expensive and you will have to use a different address, but if you have your reasons for wishing to send through such a service, please leave a comment on here and I will post that for everyone also. Actually, even if you don't want the DHL address, I encourage everyone to leave a comment! I just think it's fun if we can have little conversations with lots of friends, and also it's cool just to see who is reading! You don't have to have a blogspot account or anything, you can just post under the 'anonymous' name and sign your name at the end.
Only two weeks left from today before I say goodbye to Iowa... bitter sweet time here.
Thanks for checking in!
