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?

and i just re-looked at the packing list the course organizers gave us. it specifically instructs us to not bring deodorant.
and who the crap steals underwear?
