Farid Dakar

... Dakar, I've had great fish dishes since I've been only along the coast. The pool setting was beautiful, and the water was cool, unlike the beach in Ko Tao in Thailand, the last time I went swimming. We spent the day being silly in the pool and taking silly pictures, particularly having our drinks in the pool from one of the best inventions of all time, the swim-up bar. It was a wonderful, relaxing day-- a real vacation in my "vacation" of ...

... did... I am sure they will be crying tomorrow. Now, everyone is just sitting out on the deck all day because today is a holiday and we have no classes! How bizarre is this? I wish I could be lazy all day but I have so much to catch up on! It is actually really sad how much work I have ahead of myself, haha. BUT, we get a BBQ tonight! These calm and warm days are bliss, they really are. Right now, we are coasting along past Sierra Leone, in case you were wondering. We will not ...

... s personal assistant, Lavina. She was his personal assistant for twenty four years and is now traveling on this voyage with her husband as a lifelong learner. Desmond Tutu traveled on one of the 2007 voyages for some time and is a huge supporter of Semester at Sea. Unfortunately he will not be in Cape Town when we are there but if he was he would come on board as our guest lecturer as he has in the past. She told us many ...

... uma dika que me pareceu sarcastica, mas sempre metendo fé no seu espirito brincalhao e nenhuma nos meus instintos, lhe respondi querendo ser engraçado, coisa que não sou, muito menos na lingua do outro. Meia hora depois chamou-me para me dizer que não tinha curtido da minha dika e que achava melhor que eu bazasse imediatamente. Fiquei mesmo de queixo no chão, mas sai com tranquilidade na consciência e no coração. Siga pra proxima.

... turns to me and is like he thinks you're cute. Then the guy asks are guide where we re from and when the guide says the US the guy is like I love you. We just laughed it off and he soon went on his way. However a few short minutes later, another guy, this time a much older "gentleman" comes up and starts talking to my sister. He teels her that he'd like a little white girlfriend ...

... had an evening of photos of the kids and films which i strayed for, the kids just get so excited tosee pictures of themselves it is adorable. Stayed at work till 1030 that evening; they have given me a bedroom there now and tell mer i should be sleeping there!

... the 100% tip in his hand, and then scowls at me as if he might as well sell his children anyway. It's what you call a "cultural experience". Once I got there, I met some colleagues (Bryan, and Peter and his wife Caroline), and folks from other agencies (who I didn't know) at a place called the "Sao Brasil" (Saint Brazil ?!) which has nothing brazilian about it at all, but is a nice kind of open air, but under shade - bar/restaurant. Had a v convivial evening - and hailed another taxi home.

... the aboriginal ancestors of the modern Khoisan speakers. They arrived at the cape not long after the Dutch. Of course many Africans from this area wound up in the American South from the slave diaspora. I think I see some familiar faces. Still, Bamako is hardly a city, more like a hundred villages in search of one, a dozen tribes in search of a nation. Mali is like the Guatemala or Cambodia of Africa, picturesque and ...
