Went over to the Swahili school down the street to ask about taking a few lessons.  Only being able to say thank you and “hakuna matata,” which I’m not even sure is Swahili, isn’t getting me very far here.  They had this anti-corruption sign up over the visitors entrance.  We don’t have one of these signs at the orphanage and I’m wondering why.  Should I be suspicious?  I’m sleeping with one eye open, babies.  So don’t try and pull anything.  

To take just a few classes turned out to be $800, which seemed kind of crazy.  But a lot of prices here have been surprising me.  For example, cereal costs about $8.50.  And it’s Wheatabix!  That’s such a sucky cereal.  I wouldn’t even want to know how much Lucky Charms costs round these parts.  No, that’s a lie.  I would want to know and I’d probably wind up paying it too.  I miss mini marshmallows big time.
