I thought I'd post a little something for those of you wondering why you haven't heard from me in a little while. The truth is, nothing has really happened here this week. Our next football match has been delayed a little bit, because the big truck was broken. It's fixed now though, so I should be telling you about our next victory soon. Since there is nothing new to report, I guess I'll resort to telling you about my conversations with the village children.
Sadly, I no longer attempt to correct the children's grammar anymore. It turns out azungu, as well as meaning white people, is the respectful way to say white person. That's right, there is a respectful way to shout out "white person white person!" Don't worry, I still find ways to surprise the kids. Nick and I are learning how to say "that's rude" in Chichewa for the kids who curse at us and demand money (in English).
It turns out that the grasshoppers Nick bought last week were only boiled, and hadn't been fried yet. I'm sure that's why they didn't taste good.
Hopefully I'll have something more interesting to report next time. Right now I have to run and help kids with their homework.
