karibu

soooo today is day two in arusha, tanzania. this are great thus far. my hostel is awesome adn the kids i room with are chill! mama i am waking up at seven every morning with a happy face tu est fiere ou quoi?!..ok maybe its still the jet lag but hopefully it will last. i learned today that were we will be teaching in babati is a rural town, not so much a village setting--no hut type dwellings apparently, but we will see. the groups we will be teaching are going to be huge too since its a town aaah its going to be great. everyone hear asks about obama--you can even buy a conga skirt wtih obama's face on it. today i invested in a giraffe print bottle opener dun dun.
things i really like about tanzania thus far:
-the welcoming--people are so friendly--karibu sana (welcome) is the most commonly used phrase i am hearing, and not just from people trying to sell me stuff
-the chakula-fooood! yesterday i ate a whole fish-meg and rachel also each got a talapia that covered their entire plate it was soo funny. also i heart vegetables, of which there are an abundant here. OH! i ate a huge avacado yesterday--deelicious!
-the weather-b-e-auuutiful!
-the fact that i can wear the same pants for four days without feeling judged---alrrright---ha thomas!
-the kids-so friendly
and other things i wrote down but cant remember any more. tomorrow were going on a big ass hike--je penserai a toi maman! there will be waterfalls.
i dont think uploading pics is going to be a possibility, at least not for a while. no worries tho i am taking lots--excluding in town--we already stick out enough
no worries everyone ive got my poker face on and am keeping safe--tutaonana---see you later :]
