so i only have 14 more days left in my village. i'll be home in i think around 25 or so - too lazy to count. and if i did count i'd have to call a meeting together of myclosest circle of friends and advisors. we'd thenhave to great each other and ask each other all about our families and homes and then procede tochat about the dust and weather that we talked about the day before. we could then procede to count the days left. but we'd get half way done and someone elsewould arrive. so we'd have to start from the intros andthen begin counting again. this might work for a while until someone gets bored. then we'd call it off and try again the next day.
i don't have any ideas right now.
ok. the hamburger stand here is really dank. i'm going to go get one now.
also the lack of formed lines - when you're ready to order or get something. you just walk up toa person working in anystore andjust get it. no matter who was there before you.
yeah.

a few minutes on the computer
dank again: those french fry omlettes - really it doesn't get any better.
not dank and creepy: people walking really close behind you for no reason. i think it's solely just to walk with a white person - or because they want to stare at us closely... but it's creepy having someone walk behind you for 45+ minutes just staring into the back of your head
dank: getting to just relax in meetings that would be intense and take 20 minutes in the states and takes about 3 hours here
getting your laundry done by your mama - DANK! i have clean jeans (that i can't wear in the village because they can't see i have two legs)
slamming lambs and goats in the back of vans (not dank) ANIMAL ABUSE!
little kids with funny names like sebastian, betty, lillian etc. - DANK
Dawa (medicine aka pot) EVERYWHERE - the dankest of dank.
witchcraft stories that are better than xfiles episodes or stephen king novels = dank!
charging my cell phone for free because my baba owns a duka - awesome
little kids thinking you are their bibi (grandma) - i can't decide if that is dank or not
mama dogs eating their puppies - not dank. someone needs to ship over some dog food here
eating everything with your hands including rice and beans... until one day you get a fork and your meal is entirely chips (french fries) - this isn't dank or not, it's just weird
milk straight from a cow - AMAZING - milk that kind tastes like beef - not amazing.
chaco tan lines - pretty funny, farmers tan on my arms - not as funny
lack of reheating things - this concept is foreign but i feel like it could make some of the bread 100 times better
donkeys that sound like they are dying - this is not dank, again horrible animal abuse and another reason i might become a vegetarian
beautiful birds everywhere - GREAT! DANK! BEAUTIFUL
Cholula on your ugali after not having anything that tastes like mexican food = priceless
shower water that might be dirtier than you are before you take your shower = an interesting situation it's hard to decide if you want to shower or not.
mistaking a cow's for a vibrating phone --- hilarious.

ok.... so one last dank before the village
- french fry "omlette" called 'chips mayai' - DANK - so tasty
- wine called "the grapes of the grapes" - $1 - so DANK
- rats running accross your feet while brushing your teeth - not dank
- mouse crawling out of the pit toilet while peeing - not dank
- peeing in the shower instead of the pit toilet to avoid mice - dank
- fitting 7 people into a taxi that costs $3 = dank
- putting sugar on your plate before in your tea cup to remove the ants = dank
- loving hot powdered milk = dank
- getting your only dairy from hot powdered milk = not so dank
- having people steal your underwear from the clothes line = not dank
- packing tons of extra underwear just in case some get stolen = SO DANK (so glad i did that)
- freaking some locals out by wearing head lamps = just weird
- having old school razor blades fall out of your bunk bed = unsettling
- coming to the realization that maybe this trip is going to make you stink more than you thought... priceless?
