Nao entendo...
The most used Portuguese phrase "i dont understand"
Well folks i survived my 17 hour plane ride to Maputo Mozambique just one week ago, but oh my god do i feel like i have lived a lifetime! So my first days were spent at Kaya kwanga a plush hotel where we got soo many shots like 8 and had intense orientation. This hotel was off the hizzy, the contestents of moZAMBIQUuan IDOL were staying there (yah for globalization american idol has even made it to mozam). so after 3 days of luxury we boarded chappas (12 passanger vans, except in Moz a minimum of 18 people are on each van)and rolled nto the narrow sandy streets of Barroi Fishe, the streets are lined with houses made of cement, rock. or reed, smiling phases emerged, mainly women wrapped inbeautiful barbirs that ere worn from the days work. Barley understing what our PEACe CORPS insturtcters were saying, one by one we wree booted out of the van- excitment and fear as i met my new family. So im runnin out of time. I have 3 brother and 3 sisters all living in a 3 room house, one of which is mine). I WAKE up everymorning at 5:30 to sweep and mop my room and the house, take a bucket bath shower (thre's no running water), and go to class until 5 or so. The languages classes are really intense but realy necessary. Times running out so know that i am happy here!
