Loin Cloth Wrasslin

Two for the price of one in blogland today. So I forgot to mention one very important detail. Yesterday, we, the PCVs witnessed Senegalese wrestling, which rivals WWF (not the panda) in popularity. Beautiful sculpted Senegalese males came to the center to show us the wonders of the body, I mean, the sport of wrestling. they strip down to a cloth that is tied around them like a diaper. who ever can throw their opponent to the ground first wins. and they say homosexuality is illegal in senegal.......
A commentary on TV-people in senegal that own a TV rival americans in TV consumption. they are glued to the tube. most of the images are from america, brazil and india. so just like americans think africa is full of starving distended bellied children with flies swarming everywhere; senegalese think all americans are super rich and quite promiscuious and that our president is an idiot, which i caannot dispute. the iraq images are way more graphic here than i know what you all are getting in the states.
congrats to the newly engaged!!!! rachel to douglas and zaneta to ryan! please, some one still be single in two years. i know my dc people will be.
now i need to go to the bon marche (the toubab store - toubab is wolof for white)for my saturday double chocolate magnum bar. YUM.
