Mix of cultures

Just a quick update. Saturaday night we went out for Indian at a restaurant called The Moghul, it was sooooo good! Love nan and love eating with my hands. Then I was home alone for a bit which was a little scary. Sunday morning we made breakfast which was chicken livers, peppers, eggs, and toast. Not so sure how I feel about the chicken livers. They tasted fine but it was kind of hard to eat them knowing what they do. Plus they look like mini human livers.

My sister Twaps and I then went to the African Mall. Very interesting. It was a bunch of shops owned by Chinese people who had African people helping them and they sold cheap goods you could find in the US. And it smelled funny. Interesting place.

We had a lazy afternoon. Wadipi (my other sister) and I walked to Choppies the local grocery store and got some ingredients for dinner. Nice walk through some different neighborhoods. That night we celebrated my nephew's birthday with chocolate cake...yum! He turned 7 months old and is getting heavy.

Today was a normal day at school. Learned more about environmental health, and some Setswana phrases. O mang? means what is your name. We also learned some "slang" or phrases people my age will say like hola, hows it? Eitha! and Go jwang?

Had a meat pie for lunch, surprisingly pretty good. By the time I leave here I will probably have tried every one!

We started to plan our trips to Victoria Falls and to the Okavango Delta. Lots to look forward to! Wednesday we start clinical work and saturday we go on a safari so soon I will have lots to tell you!

Go siame! Sala Sentle!

  2. Haven't had chicken livers, but I would stay away from lamb kidneys. Your adventure sounds awesome. Victoria Falls and the delta are supposed to be incredible.

    Be safe and have fun. Dad
