... t wanted a newspaper one would be dropped in your lap or if, as people tried to do, lean forward a paper would be wedged somewhere on you.

... tres eleve puisque la montagne est a 1700m d'altitude (donc drap presque sortie de la laveuse) et reveil de la marmaille a 6.00 du matin.

... we'll be staying in. We made a grocery stop to stock up on snacks and fruit for tomorrow's (allegedly) nine-hour bus ride to Tana Toraja.
