I want to continue to talk about the rual area experience but i want to catch up with what i am doing now. We had a Zulu test on the friday we were in Oldwebede, and then headed off to the beach. When we got home,people were in our kitcthen drinking some Zulu beer(utchwala isiZulu) which Mama Joyce made the day before. We had a great time together with Spiwe, Mama Joyce and others. I woke up in the morning with some sort of virus that gave me a rash over my entire stomach and arms. Nick and Brian went to buy a chicken for dinner which we later saw die by the knife of Mama Joyce.
On Sunday we went to some sort of celebration where we chowed with the man of the house who was drinking beer, Zulu beer, and vodka. We eat the sacrificed goat and some steamed bread.
Sunday night, we went to the pool hall. Woman are not supposed to go out at night which means that there were about 20 boys dancing together to very loud house music. We again were forced to attempt traditional Zulu dance. The boys told us how much they were going to miss us, and i felt really sad about leaving the following morning.
We got home, and took pictures with Mama Joyce.
