kiboko...hippo.

Day 18 (9/22)
Cook crew this morning! Only this morning it was a normal breakfast time so cook crew was 6:30AM Arthur was the head cook again, it’s always a good time with him. He plays the greatest music, all from America and such a wide range of things to jam out to. Haha, we had some old school Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift, 50 Cent, Black Eyed Peas. It was awesome, they even do contests to give things away like in the States!
The first class, Kiringe started out singing “somebody somebody somebody”, not sure what message he was trying to get across. And I’ve finally realized instead of staying “um” he will roll his R’s. And for some reason its just so funny.
The second class was followed by Shem telling us about how he took a 65 person bus to go on a safari, and they got stuck in the mud…for two days.
The last class of the day was more Swahili. Daniel is the bomb, his pronunciation is hilarious. Let me start out by saying that hat/hut/heat/hurt all sound exactly the same when he says it. Same thing with source/sauce and sometimes it takes a second to understand which one he is talking about based on the context. Well in Africa they have these people called “hawkers”, and they sell things to people. Turns out hawker sound exactly like hooker when Daniel says it and he didn’t know what a hooker was, and nobody knew what a hawker was. So long story short, after about 5 minutes of confusion and shock we finally figured it out. Ha sometimes language barriers are a hilarious thing.
We played volleyball for a while. Kenyans are amazing at volleyball too. Damn.
For our RAP after dinner Kelly did a cool pirate story that had to do with light and then we ate the life savers that spark in the dark..can’t complain.
