Dongle is now credited! So, I forgot to mention a couple fun details from the past
couple days.
1. Camel Pub’s slogan is “Where you are mostly welcome”. I
think this is hysterical.
2. Sam showed us the Phish “meat-stick” dance. It was pretty
awesome. We also did the Macarena for PJ.
3. Choo roach is gone. Or on vacation… Either way my
parasites and I can now go to the bathroom in peace!
4. I got a “high-intermediate” score on my midterm LPI in
Swahili. Much better than I thought I’d do and I’m skeptical that I really can
speak that well.
5. We have been majorly skimming through things this week.
We have done like 4 units or something, but I definitely haven’t processed
anything lately.
Anyway, today I had a ½ hour-long tickle war with Priska. It
was pretty fun, but I eventually just wanted to sit peaceably so I ended it. I
also had her do my hair—she gave me lopsided pigtail buns. I was shown off
around the house. Pretty fun afternoon aside from all the homework I had to do.
The highlight of the day, however, was PJ telling a story
about this time he was at a train station in Dar es Salaam. In short, he got
tricked by a man claiming he was trying to sell a bunch of gold, and lost two
smart-phones and a bunch of money in the process. I laughed until my insides
hurt. Apparently he was easily fooled because they drugged him by shaking his
hand—not sure what kind of drug they have here that can be absorbed through the
skin, but it sounds sketchy.
I really want a back massage. And for my stomach to feel
better—I have been feeling pretty crappy. I did get an apple from Michelle
today, though, which was nice. She
usually gives me fruit at chai, which makes me happy. I guess her host family
is very generous with the fruit giving, and she passes the good karma along.
