Ahhh... Just Another Day

The Japanese government has a program like Peace Corps. which sends volunteers to work in developing countries. Long story short, there are some Jigga volunteers living in Tamba that don’t speak English or French. Yesterday, I had a quasi-conversation with them in Wolof while standing in line to find out about internet access at my house. Needless to say, it was interesting being American and speaking to Japanese people in Wolof. I thought it was quite amusing and I’d bet all the Senegalese people watching agreed. And for the record, I schooled them in Wolof. I’ve been here about seven months longer than them but that is just a minor detail.
