A Few Reasons Why I Love Site

• A few Thursday’s ago (before a 4 day weekend), we had a dance party in the garage where I work. The care givers (tried) to teach me how to dance some traditional Zulu dances. I wasnt toooo bad, but there was a lot of laughing for sure
• My friend really wanted to go to town to get some utshwala (beer) for an upcoming weekend. We haven’t told anyone about it, but whisper and giggle like little girls when making plans.
• I had to buy a new wardrobe for site (mostly pants), and my supervisor made me come out and model each pair of pants for her.
• Today my electricity was out (again), and there were four people in the room. One was standing on the top of a metal drum trying to actually fix the electricity. One was holding my head lamp and dancing (she said her magic fixed the electricity), one was holding her cell phone like a boom box while it played something, and the 4th person (myself) danced. It was like we were in a disco…without any lights. We all just laughed the whole time. While telling the only person that was actually working that were going to beat him if he didnt fix it.
• I constantly forget that im the only American around, so whenever im sitting around thinking things like “this is strange…” or “WTF” and sort of giggle at the situation, I then have to explain why im laughing. Like the electricity situation above. Before we even STARTED dancing, I was laughing at how ridiculous it was, and how it would never happen in America…then I had to explain to my supervisor what was happening in my head…
