Ok, so I have been in Namibia since the 24th of July and it is now the 5th of August. I apologize to everyone that I have not posted on here or informed them of what has been happening to me so far. The first week was awesome, very relaxing and full of new experiences. I'll start with the food, which is basically meat, meat, and more meat. All kinds of meat. So for example I went over to my friend Alyssa's house to hang out with her and her family, and her host dad served some Warthog meat, which was delicious. Also we played Fifa Street 2 and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas on his playstation 2.
Ok, but back to the food, Nambian's also love corn meal and rice. Those are the staples. I've had a chance to sample the local beers, so far they're all German style Lagers and Pilsners. Nothing great to talk about there. I just had a strange fruit last night, called Ekapa in Oshindonga, it was delicious but very dry. I have no idea how to descibe it. Oh yeah host family.
So I moved in last Tuesday night into the Nau-Aib neighborhood of Okahandja with Helvi Shilongo and her son Nicky. Mme Helvi (pronounced May-May Hel-vi) is so sweet and awesome. She is the same age as my mom back home and runs a Kindergarten out of the house and has a classroom/shack attached to the house, along with an outhouse for the children. She has 48 CHILDREN and only ONE helper. Just crazy, I hope my mom reads that. Nicky is 15 and in Grade 10, so he's taking a whole bunch of exams at the moment. He just friended me on facebook so if you want to find his name is King Dex. Also, he's written a rap song, has Drakes song as a ringtone, and plays soccer with his friends out front of our house.
Ok I dont have much more time. I had more to write but I'll just blurt out the rest in no coherent fashion. My language is Oshindonga, which means I'll be heading north but I dont find out my site till August 28th. Also my phone is connected. I'm going to download whatsapp so everyone who wants to contact me should use that or facebook messenger. Thats all for now. Hopefully these photo's upload.
Which they did not.
