Care Packages

Hi Everyone.
I just wanted to share that if there is something that you would like to send me, it just got a whole lot easier! I have a student whose father works at the Embassy and I can have things mailed through the Embassy. You just follow these easy steps and the best part is the shipping cost is all within the U.S. for you.
Please though it would be great if you check with me first before you send anything as there are a lot of things that I've found that I can get at Grande Marchette. It's amazing the things I can get and the things I can't get here, so it's just safer to check with me. In general I can't get construction paper and I never thought I'd say that I miss American candy/chocolate, but I now see it as a special treat. Oh and I haven't found green tea yet (and you all know how I love my green tea). It seems that shops only sell Lipton. Please don't send me anything that says Lipton on it.

Step 1:
Address the box to

Scott McFadden
2300 Lome Place
Dulles, Virginia 20189

Step 2:
The return address should read my name and then your address. This ensures that it gets to me.

Step 3:
Do not pack any liquids or parishables. It's going through the mail but also the government. I've been told that it takes 2 weeks for the package to arrive here so that it pretty good I think.

Please don't feel like I'm begging, it's just really cool that packages are possible now. It's just something I wanted to throw out there as some of you had said that you wanted to send me something but I thought it was too expensive. Now it's not too bad.
