i watch soccer now.

- i went to the anglican church today. the service was in english! otherwise, much like the catholic liturgy. fairly short too.

- i saw that monkey that is tied up in a tree again. he stared me down. i think he likes me.

- i climbed the mango tree when i needed a refreshing break today. i sat up there for a little while.

- i hauled water with Martin. it costs 200/= (200 schillings) per jerrican. its supposed to only be 100, but when you have the only water around, you charge what you want.

- i had jackfruit finally! and it was incredible. like candy! my new second favorite fruit. but it's super sticky. and thats ok. we also had some pumpkin for dinner. i think it was like boiled. it was mushy. it was ok. i'm not a super pumpkin enthusiast, but its alright. i like jackfruit much better.

- i bought cotton swabs (my ears were itching for a cleaning), shampoo and soap, a razor, pens, and a surge protector from the supermarket, city shoppers. my ears were very pleased with this shopping experience.

- i went with martin to get fish from the market. but when we got down there the fish were anything but appealing. in fact none of the meat was very appealing in my opinion. the fish were whole. just cooked. so it was just a black toasted fish carcass. mouth and bones and eyes and everything just sitting there smelling all fishy and dead. at least the beef and cow inside parts weren't as smelly. they hung inside shops or laying on tables outside infested with flies. martin doesn't like fish, so we beef. i wasn't particularly interested in that fish either.

- i went to a bar, best meals, to watch football with martin. we watched arsenal beat bolton. charge 1000 schillings (50 cents) per viewer.

- i shared my beef jerky with martin, his first exposure to the treat. he loved it. in turn, he bought fried banana chips for both of us. they tasted like thick potato chips.

- also i shaved.

- thank you.
