To the land of fast food and good beer

Tomorrow I will be leaving for South Africa and returning sometime in early January or when the money runs out.
MONTH SUMMARY
-My house has been taken over by termites. I can hear them while I sleep, slowly chewing their way through wood and grass, leaving caked dirt and sand in their path. With no terminex man in 4000 miles I'm screwed. I've had books eaten in half and brooms turned into sand.
-Made a stove to make bread. A pretty big hit in the village when I busted it out at a "nutrition party".
-my neighbor told me I WILL BE farming. So I will have a half hectare of maize and beans.
-I ate goat balls (not so good)
-held a meeting on keeping a budget and record keeping. Not sure if its my specialty, but even some of the best coaches can't play the game.
-Hitchhiked with a jehovas witness and listened to him tell me I wouldnt be accepted into the kingdom of jehova. I said I could care less. He then ripped me off on the price of the ride. NEVER bad mouth jehova in zambia.
-Refused to hitch hike with the mufumbwe police because they were carrying a dead body in the back of the truck which I could smell from 30 feet away.
