Habari za leo? Nzuri!

The title of this blog means "How are you today? Good!" Since I last wrote I have had the worst bus ride of my life, but also the most interesting. Hot, bumpy, sweaty, and there's nothing like having no personal space! We arrived in Singida Tuesday evening after our 10 hour bus trip turned into 12 hours. The hotel here is nicer than in Dar, although our shower doesn't work and I had to use a bucket. Oh well. The food has been good, but also a bit repetitive, same thing everyday for lunch and supper, and breakfast of bread, jam and a boiled egg. I like learning Kiswahili and then putting it to practical use. Today we went to a market and had to barter on our own, which was interesting! It was a real market with chickens and goats and fruit etc, I haven't seen a single touristy thing anyhere, which is refreshing. Anyways, this internet is sooo slow, but I thought I should try to post to say I'm ok. Hotmail is very slow here and I couldnt' actually send a message today or 3 days ago, so keep checking here or try writing on my wall on Facebook. I'm having a lot of fun, all the other volunteers are great and we get along very well. We go out to our village on Saturday, and I'm looking forward to it!
