The little toy transformers that I gave out, I would say half of them are broken already. But that is expected. They stick them in there mouths and step on them or run them into things. Just typical kids. The wooden trucks I handed out I think will last a bit longer. But we will see. The older kids are more responsible. They still have there transformers for now. But I am sure they will lose them or break them at some point.
I took Christopher, Edina, and Agnus for a walk to the lake. All the children wanted to go but I thought I should only take the ones that strong enough to walk and the ones I don’t have to really keep an eye on. But of course all the other kids were crying and crying because they didn't get to go. Whenever I am walking through the villages the people just stare at me. But that is expected. I am unique entertainment for them.
Things are very inexpensive here as you can imagine. I took the bike I am using for a ride into town and someone asked if they could wash my bike and I said sure? I will explain cost in US dollars. It cost 50 cents to wash my bike. I played two games of pool which is amazing seeing 3 pool tables outside under thatched roofs. It was basically 15 cents a game. Then I ate a chapte. which was 40 cents. Then I had a beer which was about $1.10 for a 1/2 liter. For my tanzanian phone it is $2.20 for 70 minutes, 200 text message and 120 MB internet for one week. Not bad. But talking with people is very enjoyable for me. It helps me learn the language and everyone wants to talk to white man. Of course everyone asks me if I could take them to America.
But it was an enjoyable day. Today I am taking the boy scouts for a hike and we are going to camp out. It should be interesting.
