Yesterday was a relaxing sort of day. Went to Junior Orch which is going well. They are performing Money Money Money and Shake Down in the Anniversary concert. It rained lots yesterday too! And is cloudy today - so much for me getting a tan! Haha. Rest of the day consisted of researching about Safari's and a Rafting trip which look great fun, but quite expensive. We can't come all this way and not do them though so I guess we'll just have to splash out! Plus we're not really spending money on anything else except transport (though it's very cheap) and maybe food so I reckon we'll be ok. Went to a craft market aswell and they have some lovely stuff, will probably be buying a few presents from there! Also took Fatu to the airport. Will be a bit weird without her but I can be replacement big sister! And Fatu's promised to bring back chocolate so thats a fair deal I say!
Today is a chilling and practising day also. Starting to brighten up a bit now too which is nice. I've been trying to upload photos so you can see what it's like out here but for some reason it wont let me. My profile picture is now of me and Fatu though. Will keep trying. Check facebook too if you can in case I have more luck there.
It's the big parade day tomorrow, liberation day. Should be good fun as it's right outside our house, we'll have the best views hopefully! I must say when it's over I wont miss the constant shouting and playing of Ugandan tunes - it's been a noisy few days while they've been rehearsing!
Another tradition that's different here is lunch is the main meal of the day and a light snack supper. I suppose that could be a Gambian tradition as thats where the family are from.. It's quite a healthy way of living though. The food is very spicy but I'm getting used to it now, and its so full of flavour. I've tried lots of new things which has been good - fruits, veg, oysters! Etc. Its all very delicious. I may offer to help cook the lunch now actually, would be good to pick up a few tips! X
