Laliga

Before we went to safari we went to LALIGA!
It was a holiday and club Laliga which you can find by following the spotlight in the sky, was hoppin'! (BTW the moon does sets here at about 9:30 pm, it doesn't stay up all night like it does for us... OK that only happened during safari - weird) We listened to bongo flavor, techno, hip hop, pop and it was so much fun! We went with the local volunteers who are all young men - CP (who drives us to placement and used to do safaris), Amani (who volunteers with me at Jipe Moyo, he is soo sweet), Musa (our guide to safari), and a few others. Brian (another volunteer who will be staying here for 12 weeks, from NJ) was like I feel like I'm in DC! It was like being in chocolate city and funny b/c men were the same type of aggressiveness when it comes to dancing with women. It was interesting to see that culture similarity and see the difference as some of the mzungu volunteer females were annoyed since its not a part of their culture. I think that's so interesting, things that are maintained - why?
