rafiki ain't a baboon

he's a blue mandrill. and he shouldn't be able to speak swahili cuz they're only found in west africa not east.

we've been having weekly movie nights and tonight is Lion King night. It's funny that I can point out all the discrepancies in the movie after only a few weeks in tanzania.

anywayz..

we're going to Serengeti this Sunday!!! we'll be camping out for about a week. I heard that last year a hyena got caught on someone's tent and an askari (security guy) had to come and scare it away. I'm really excited for my night pees, too. if we have to pee at night we shine a flashlight outside of our tent and an askari has to escort us to pee in the bushes because of the animal dangers. wowow hopefully we'll finally see some simbas.

ew the part of lion king when simba pounces zazu just came on. I guess they added a new song here and it's awkward and sucks.



I can't believe that we're already more than half way through with our time in Tanzania! We're going to have finals in 2 weeks already! so crazyy

Oh and sad sad sad news... Yuda, our swahili teacher, morning walk, and hiking guide is leaving SFS to Dar es Salaam to work at a national park :(. Tomorrow is our non-program day for this week so we're going on our last hike with Yuda and then heading to Karatu Town for lunch and a surprise going away party for Yuda!

well, new post when I get back from Serengeti in a week!
