Kutembea

Leo, watoto walienda madrasani. Baada ye, baba nami tulienda kupeleka watoto nyumbani. The kids were running late and so we - Omg as I write this Sahil is replaying Delta Force Part B. His mom recites the lines before they even appear in the subtitles. I forgot to mention we got a break yesterday with Mayday instead.  And now Apu (Abu?) just walked in. Apu is one of their friends from the neighbourhood. He's a little scared of me, but the Toblerone I brought is helping. (Life view: food is the best gift.) As I was saying, we went to get the kids. They were a little late so we walked around Stone Town. And I have to admit, although I made mental notes of all the expensive hotels with acceptable bathrooms - Idea! I can steal toilet paper if I can't find a place to buy some - it was then that I remembered why I was here: the bright blue ocean, the cobblestone streets, the intricate carvings on Arab and Indian-style doors, the colourful shops and the friendly people (walking always takes twice as long as if you google mapped it - they really need a Salaam/Walekum function for Muslim countries). I could feel something I had missed since arriving in Zanzibar. A cool breeze. And then finally, I started to hear it: Quiet.
I think I'm beginning to like Chuck Norris too.

p.s. It's Abu, as in Abu Bakr. Also, I now have a recreation of Delta Force on my camera, starring Abu as Chuck Norris, with cinematography and production by Sahil.
