Answers to the Most Frequently Asked RPVC Questions!

There are two questions every returned Peace Corps volunteer grapples with when he or she returns to the U.S.

The first question is: "How I can adapt to life in the United States in a manner consistent with my Peace Corps idealism and the lessons of my experience?"

Sorry, I've got no advice on this one except to say "go to a graduate school with a good placement program". On the second question, however, I can be a bit more helpful.

The second question (and maybe I've got the order wrong here) is of course "Where can I get BB in the U.S.?"

Jonathan's detective work found the following:

First, brace yourself: it will cost you about $9 for six 12 oz. bottles.

There are three states with BB distributors, which is distributed under the name "Ngoma": Florida, California, and Washington D.C. (yeah, we know, Washington DC's not a state.) Each has one distributor who supplies to any number of retailers. These distributors should be willing to provide you with a list of retailers, or the one nearest you.

California: the Consumers Distributing Co., at 415-621-1828.

Florida: the National Distributing Co., at 904-751-0090.

Washington DC: the House of Wines, at 202-882-3333.

If anyone knows of additional states, send the info to us and the info will be posted.
