Lilongwe still

Posted in Lilongwe by Dom on August 2nd, 2007

So a bit tired. I did a lot of walking and talking today. Went curio shopping for a few hours and had the wannabe rasta’s cuss at me for offering them K100 for a necklace. Whatever they’re fools. Finally fairly done with the bikes. I built all the new ones for the newbs last week and this week I’ve been assessing and repairing the old returned bikes to see which ones are usable and which are bunk trash. There’s still probably half of those to go through. Tired of working on them, and ‘teaching’ goes too slow and really I’m just all around tired right now. I think I’m going to head back to site tomorrow and then maybe on up north the next day or something like that. We’ll see. Ahh term break. Did some summer school, campsky stuff too, it was great.

Had three kids begging for money at the curios too. I started begging back, following them around asking for K100. Finally one of them gave me K10. I gave it back though. Then they started giving me like 10 tambala coins and bottle caps and such. I gave all that back too. I had some guy walk up and give me an empty water bottle, so I gave them that too. Theres no telling how old they were though, age is kind of hard to guess here with malnutrition and the like.
