where is kevin bacon when you need him?

so i just found out about a new brewing controversy here in senegal. the marabouts, islamic religious leaders that are only typical to senegal, have issues with the senegalese desire to dance (and can they dance! i am the whitest white girl on the face of the earth!) and islam. they want dancing to to outlawed in public and think youssou ndoor promotes wantoness behavior by introducing cool dance moves. sounds like a remake of a little movie called footloose.
the fromage is back in my life, but in a different way. you know there is a problem with the language i am learning when there is no word for cheese! they just say fromage. they don,t eat much cheese though, so i guess there is no use for the word. but i really should not worry about not eating cheese because since my violent illness a few weeks ago; i have had the opposite problem. no fun with the squat toilettes. i will have quads of steel in two years time.
6 people are now gone.... all for very different reasons.
