living like paris hilton

got to tanzania after a 30 hr bus ride. the bus was actually an african luxury liner! they serve sodas and biscuits and tea on the bus...you dont see that kind of service on the chinatown bus.

nothing too exciting to report from the last couple of days, just loafing around and living high off the hog. my aunt has a couple of maid servants, titus and abdul and they pretty much take care of everything so i don't really have to lift a finger. they pull my bags out of the car, do my laundry (they even ironed my tshirts!) and take my dishes after i eat...it is actually a bit weird but apparently thats what they are getting paid for so i have been told to just leave stuff whereever i feel like it. i bet this is how paris lives.

titus and abdul have also taught me bits and pieces of swahili (okay about 3 words but i think they are important). jambo! that means hello and it is the proper form that you use address people the first time you meet them each day. it is also important to ask an african how they are doing, how is their family, etc, even if you just saw them the day before.

i will be leaving for the serengeti tomorrow so this might be the last post for the week (sorry to disappoint if you are bored at work!) and the picture thing is not working and i am sick of trying so i will just post them when i get back to the stateside.
