Went to Mwenge today to do a little bit of shopping for gifts! I love the Mwenge market, the people are kinda pushy but you can usually bargain with them and get them down on their prices. They automatically try to charge you double because you’re a Mzungu, so you have to stand your ground and say you won’t buy it for that much and usually they are happy just to make a sale so they will go down to a lesser price….It really helps knowing the numbers in Swahili, so for example, if you see something you like you ask “Bei gani” which means “how much?” and then they will say something like “elfu moja na tano” which means 15,000…and then you could say “hapana, elfu kumi” which means no, 10,000 and usually they will go for it or try for 12,000. For dinner we went to Arca again for pizza, and once again it was delicious! I had artichoke, mushroom and onion pizza and a Stoney Tangaweezy, which is an extra gingery ginger ale! Both were really yummy!

This morning Nicole and Jenny arrived and a bunch of us just stayed home in the morning and baked! We made scones and then mango crisp for dessert later. We had an assembly line going! At 2pm we went to boona baana and played some fun games. It was my night to cook again so we made Daal, rice, homemade chapatti, and greek salad. It turned out really good!
