46 Days in the interior
"Hey, can we watch that crazy film again, tonight?"--Village Kid
"You mean Seinfeld?"--Me
"Yeah that one! With Kramer."--Village Kid
I recently returned from a 46 night excursion in the interior. There were several highlights from this journey. One of the ladies in my village gave birth to a baby boy who is named Danejen. One day I made cinnamon rolls; they were delicious. I used what is known as a Dutch Oven to bake the rolls--you put the dough in a baking pan and put this pan inside of a big pot with a cover. I've finally got a hold on the breadmaking skills after 6 months or so of trying. The last volunteer in Gunzi called in to the radio station. And an anaconda also made an appearance at my house. Also, I took my first excursion out to the lake for St. Patrick's Day which was a blast--I even found a Guiness in Atjoni which was a total score. In other news, I have not had a hair cut in a while and I've been rocking green Tee's a lot lately aka rocking the Shaggy from Scooby Doo look.
In village sports news, I was put into an official village game for the entire second half! I nearly scored a goal too, I had two shots on goal but both were saved. We ended up winning the game 5-0.
And finally, I did some work! I did four days of translating to help some ladies who came with UNICEF on an Innovations project study. Basically, we interviewed a lot of different people in some of the villages and found out how people learn and how people use technology and how we can improve the link between those two--example, putting internet into the villages. That's a quick run down of what has happend the past month and a half, I'll try and get some more updates later in the week when I've got more time.
