The Basics:
- My address is:
Lissa G..., PCT
Corps de la Paix Americain
01 B.P. 971
Cotonou, Benin
Afrique de l'Ouest (West Africa)
- Mail takes 2-4 weeks usually. Make sure you write "Par Avion" and "Air Mail" on it so that it makes it at the normal speed.
- Make sure you send a return address so that I can write you back, and thank you!
Tips and Tricks:
- Padded envelopes are always better than boxes -- they're faster, and I don't have to pay duty fees to get them.
- You can write "Sr." in front of my name.... Sr. = Sister = nun. People don't mess with nuns' mail as much, and the postal service sends it through faster.
- Write something religious in French on the box or draw a cross (same logic applies). A personal favorite: "Dieu te regarde." God is watching you.
