Honored Guests




On Thursday we were the honored guests at the schools “prize giving day” We heard there would be some speeches, some dancing, some music and most importantly good food. When we first got there, things were already under way. First we were ushered into a small room off to the side of the main events. We sat down and were served generous portions of cow intestine. WHAT? Who said “good food” oh man, but of course we did our best to try this strange flab. There are no words to describe this food. If you can call it that. I will just highlight the worst part: the texture. Hairy, slimy, chewey and gooey all at the same time. But mostly hairy. Yup it was bad.

After that, things didn’t get much better. We sat through 5 hours of ceremony. No joke it was never ending. The good thing was that the kids at the cottages made a pretty good appearance and there was a lot of screaming and yelling from the moms. Just as we were about to slip out, which would have been hard because we were seated at the very front, the kids told us that it was time for the final announcements.

Whewh, we made it! After our marathon day, we were rewarded with a true feast of chicken, beef, beets, yams, salad, bean dishes, fried chicken and soda. Yumm… that made it all worth it.
