... die gehoeren ihm gar nicht. Nach zwei Stunden recht hitziger Debatte wurde die Verhandlung vertagt. Meine freie Zeit am Nachmittag verbringe ich mittlerweile die meiste Zeit ueber mit einem Spiel, von dem meine Schwester mal eine Zeit lang suechtig war, waehrend ich nie verstehen konnte, was einem an so einem plumpen Scheiss eigentlich gefallen soll: Zuma. Zwar verstehe ichs immer noch nicht, trotzdem reg ich mich jedes Mal tierisch auf, wenn die Baelle kurz vor Ende des ...

... zu manchen Tages- bzw. Nachtzeiten wie leergefegt sind. Hier fahren ziemlich viele schicke Autos rum, was aber einfach daran liegt, dass die, die sich ein Auto leisten koennen, sowieso genug Asche haben. Der Rest sind alte Karren, die man als oeffentliche Transportmittel verwendet. Je nachdem, wie man sich anstellt bzw. wieviel Geld man ausgeben will, ist das Benutzen von solchen Waegen saubillig oder schweineteuer. Dabei kann man vereinfacht gesagt in drei Kategorien ...

... einige Kilometer weiter in Westfield entschieden und bin begeistert... Tolle Verbindung, gute Computer und endlich mal eine zu 100% funktionierende Tastatur. Preis pro Stunde: 66 Cent. Heute Mittag bin ich ebenfalls auf eigene Faust mit den oeffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln in die Hauptstadt Banjul gefahren und hab die Stadt erkundet. Eigentlich sollte dort heute mein Praktikum starten, doch das wurde um einen Tag verschoben, weil die Luschen-Nationalmannschaft von Gambia dem Erzrivalen ...

... en, Leute h**umfahren, und so weit**. Dabei bekam ich schon ein gutes Stueck Gambia, das kleinste Land Afrikas, zu sehen und traf eine Handvoll Leute. Ganz toll ist d** Strand hi**, d** zu Fuss nur 20 Minuten vom Haus weg liegt und einen mit seuchwarmem Wass** **wartet. Noch ist ** praktisch le**, ab** in zwei Wochen beginnt die Touristensaison, was fu** Gambia Unmengen hauptsaechlich britisch** und hollaendisch** Touris bedeutet. Ebenfalls richtig sup** ist die ueppige Vegetation ...

... s posture and speak for the group when we asked questions. The next thing on the agenda was small group discussions leading into a big group discussion about different news articles we'd provided and the complex ways they were all woven together in the problem of child rights. It was not like the "draw a leader" kind of activities we'd had earlier. If people weren't actually thinking critically and discussing as a group it was going to crash and burn. Jennie and I decided to gamble ...

... Kolda End: Diaoube Km: 119 After a few repairs to the bike fixing a wonky I set off in high spirits. Omelette and baguette for brunch filled a hole. This is a very popular and ever present snack washed down with a sugary Nescafe, made with evaporated milk and heaps of sugar. Not good for the teeth! The omelette is made by mixing eggs and slices of onion in a cup and pouring it in a pool of hot oil. It cooks in an instant ...

... option would be to wander down the street to a friends' compound and find a nice shady spot under a mango tree to sit with your friends. You might also walk down to one of the many local beaches to spend the afternoon. If you are musically inclined, you might have brought a djembe, a hand-made, bongo-like drum. With this, you can work up a rhythm as someone provides a base while someone else adds a beat, and another maybe a solo. You will go faster and faster until your ...

... scream, and che** the game on without the disruption of a flashy half time show. My ideal would suff** a bit lat** when, aft** Gambia had scored two comeback goals to take the lead (but not by three) in the last couple minutes of the game, the military, in full riot gear, saunt**ed onto the field. Aft** a *****ian play** faked a foul, sprung up and lashed out at a medic, the whole field broke out into chaos and oth** fights **upted, to the extent that we didn't know what to ...

... for some of the people here. Baboucarr, who I already mentioned, is our Wolof teacher who usually guides us on our random expeditions, dealing with our slow-moving, loud, annoying group stumbling through Gambia with a patience, kindness, and humor that I can't begin to imagine. He's even taken us into his home and offered us his clothes, and at the end of the (very long) day he's more than willing to do more to answer our questions, offer us help, or just have fun with us. As Maya says ...

... odd in the vendor's apparent faith in human nature - what was there to stop anyone rocking up and swiping the lot without paying? Then I saw it. Tied to a stick poking out of the woodpile was a small bottle filled with red liquid, attached to a feather: A JuJu. Gambians are by nature very superstitious (I can remember reading pre-departure an extensive list of things considered bad luck which included "whistling" "calling a baby beautiful" and "seeing bare buttocks ...
