Just a quick one with a few things I forgot to mention yesterday:

1) Mum and Dad look away now - hired mopeds. Really fun if a little scary. Sadly though luck was not on my side and my moped broke down. Lucy had to drive me back in to Saint Louis, the most hellish five minute journey of my life (and yes, that does include every five minutes in every driving test Ive ever had, so you can understand quite how bad it was).

2) I HATE Bifals - these men who walk roudn and grab your arms to get you to give them money "in the name of Allah". If this is true and they really are servants of Allah, Allah is certainly not as clean cut as he seems - the Bifals use his money to buy a lot of weed and sit around in markets getting stoned all day - Godly, I think not.

3) I bought a huge trunk with teddy bears on it for school and the teacher gave me her ring to saythank you - its dawned on me how much Im going to miss them all at Daaray Gone Yi, with the exception of the creepy teacher and the five year old bully. I even found the rebellion today (when the teacher went out of the room) cute - what is wrong with me?

4) A little boy wore a bobble hat, coat and scarf to school today despite it being 30 degrees outside.

5) The school inspector is the meanest man alive and gave some of the kids a huge beating today for forgetting their overalls - what is wrong with the African education system?!

No time left but so much to say, will update again soon!

Love to you all as always xxx
