So i hope that that title was exciting enough for you, because that was the only exciting thing about this blog. When my blog gets boring, just glance up and the title so that you will want to continue. For your sake yea? (tee hee I'm clever)
Let us start with Yesterday, seeing as how I failed to blog yesterday. Upon waking up, I ate a chocolate bar, brushed my teeth, and walked out the door. I found myself in the American Councils building once again because Malika and Sitora (nice ladies that work at the AC building) were going to take up shopping around Dushambe for souvenirs. Apparently Garth does not do a good enough job walking us around to buy stuff, so he had to seek professional help. Two 20 year old girls. Doesn't get more professional than that when it comes to shopping.
So from 9am to about 3pm we walked around and bought stuff. I spent $100 (about 342 somoni) all together and had quite a successful day. I got something for each family member as well as friends. Yay me!
At 3:30pm we went back to the AC building for a pizza party with the Alumni. The Alumni are the Tajik students who got to spend a year in the US through the FLEX program. Most of them were our age, and there were also some that were in College. They were all super nice and i enjoyed talking to them. We bought pizza and watched a movie.
So let me tell you about the pizza. Each pizza is about the size of ... a small plate. Not a dinner plate, but a small plate. They do not have tomato sauce (which if you dont mind me saying, is CRUCIAL to pizza) so there is a little tiny bit of tomato paste on the pizza. There is A TON of cheese and always a lot of onions. The pizza that we had was called Mediteranian Pizza. It had tomato paste, cheese, onion, a tomato slice on each slice, and a lot of garlic. A very plain pizza. It was good, but it wasn't Dominoes. Anywho, the movie we watched was CLOVERFIELD which is the Bomb.com. That is an awesome movie and if you havent seen it, find it and watch it. I don't know how i lived before seeing it. Dang that was an awesome movie.
After the movie, a bunch of the Alumni, Malika, Sitora, and PS&A (Patrick Silviano and Austi) went to go see another movie at the cinema, but we were too late so they wouldn't let us in. So instead we went to a local park by a Bazzar and played frisbee. Pretty fun, except for the fact that I am still "sick" and had to occationally remove myself from the game so that I could regain my ... compossure. Afterwards we drove home and after eating another bar of chocolate I went to sleep.
-TODAY-
Woke up late. My bad. Real shocker for my parental units I'm sure haha. Basically I woke up and brushed my teeth and was quickly rushed out the door. Again we went to the AC building and shopped. I only spent about $40 (about 12- somani) and bought a bunch of stuff for Fam and Friends. Good stuff.
We went to the Green Bazzar and walked around to buy stuff, and even though i DID buy stuff, I felt so sick I just wanted to go home. And in case you didn't catch it, dinner was NOT in my day yesterday and breakfast was not in my day today, so I was STARVING. i was about to eat the little girl who sold me a Tajik scarf. Tengo mucho hambre. haha. Luckily for me, Patrick was also about to eat a small child so we both ran to Southern Fried Chicken and ordered 8 chicken pieces, 3 fries, 2 Sprites, a large bottle of water, and sat and ate. It was such amazing food OMG. It was like heaven on earth. I've never appreciated fried chicken like I appreciated it today.
By the time the rest of the group got to SFC Patrick and I were already done eating and ready to order more food. We ate and chatted and then left. We walked to a Tajik Museum and saw a Reclining Budda. I could have sworn I saw Marty tear up (he's Buddist), but it might have been my imagination ...
So now Patrick and I are at the Relief International office blogging. Silviano is with Malika buying jewelry for his mother and Sitora is back at the AC building. I believe Marty is talking to some of the RI staff and Garth is also talking. I'm sick and I don't feel good. All I want is chocolate and Sprite and I'm hoping that as soon as I finish this blog Garth will drive Patrick and I home. In case you're wondering why Patrick and I are always together, it's because Silviano has a crush on Malika (shhhh don't tell) and ditches us for her. Plus Patrick and I are both sick with the same thing, so it's always fun to have a friend that is equally as miserable as you.
Oh, I did forget to mension in this boring blog that right now there is a small sand storm happening here in Dushambe and whenever you go outside your skin turns a light brown. I look tanner than normal and Silviano definatly looks more pale haha. Let's see what else. Oh yea. I'm getting reeeeeally tired of boys and can't wait to go home and talk to Reinna, Rachel, and Kayla. I've never appreciate them more till this trip. I MISS YOU GUYS! Also, I have a new appreciation for Connelly, which I think I have already mensioned, but I just wanted to say it again just in case Connelly didn't know. Seriously I have the best brother in the world. I never thought I'd say that . . . . (:D)
Well ok, so just in case I don't get to blog later tonight. I am planning on going to a Disco (which is basically a Tajik club) later tonight (don't worry parental units. it's supervised) and also going to a movie in the Cinema. If i dont it will be because i just really don't feel good and instead I will watch MTV or blog about how bored I am.
Hopefully I'll TTYL!
Sorry you had to read such a boring blog. I appoligize.
