Kenya Dig It? ~ NIMESHIBA!
Nov. 30th, 2007 02:49 pmRight, where was I before the goat slaughtering interrupted the flow?
Oh, right. The chicken slaughtering.
Kaloleni was the beginning of our intensive Swahili lessons, which was the one thing I completely won at on this trip.* But even so, I had a question at the beginning of the first day of class ... the same question we all had.
( The most important phrase you'll ever learn in Swahili )
Kaloleni was also the beginning of my elaborate, highly detailed food fantasies. Cheese, for example. I began missing cheese,** and most other dairy products, like nothing else. Cinnamon rolls floated past my consciousness, followed by stir fry, Mexican and Tex-mex of all varieties, pizza, and Pita Pit.
( Because this is what I ate )
*Five years of studying it beforehand makes you ready to brag about it.
**If you want to traumatize yourself, try describing cheese to someone who doesn't know what it is, like my host family. "So you take milk, and then you let it go bad. Then, if you want it to be really fancy, let it grow mold!" They have the sensible opinion that this is crazy. But they still eat yogurt.
