attention all phsyio majors!! do you think the preservative pumped power bars and trail mix i brought will only counteract what my body is trying to get used to eating all this new bacteria? does that even make sense?
only two more days of orientation yipeee then we finally get to move into our homestays on tuesday. tonight mama sia/sisi - i dont think we will ever get it right-had fish for us wahoo and rice with vegetable sauce nommmm. oh i have witnessed an actual lord of the flies scene--about 16 orphaned kids live at the town's garbage dump, and sleep on broken glass in the bushes at night. we brought some food soem clothes and some good vibes.
a malaria clinic visit costs about $3 and i buy my dinner for $1.50 most nights. malaria mosquitos only come out at night apparently
oh today i dropped my toothbrush down the toilet, head down . no worries i invested in a new one --i figured 200 shiliinge or about 10 cents for a new one is a good trade
grace almost tripped over the hippo that is STILL chilling by the road last night
oh! getting away with wrapping a piece of colorful fabric aroudn my waist and calling it a skirt?? awesome!!! i heart kongas
Habiba is my little friend i met who goes to school where we have orientation--she drew henna on my hand yesterday its so neat
random cows goats chickens and roosters are EVERYWHERE its great
