Shopping

While Dave had a rather technologically frustrating day with his class, I had a very enjoyable day.

In my English lesson today, I taught the boys the Sharon, Lois and Braam song:  "Peanut, Peanut Butter, Jelly".  They enjoyed the actions and the chanting.  When Misgana recounted the event to someone else later on, she was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes!  I think I'm kind of shaking up the English language teaching methods for the program.

Misgana and I went out shopping again.  This time she took me to the big outdoor market to show me around and find some Ethiopian coffee.  We had to carefully step around a large puddle, thread our way through the shops, try not to get run-over by a push cart, and fend off those wanting to hassle the 'ferenji'.  She was my body guard!  Right along side of this market was a three-storey modern shopping mall full of clothing shops.  These shops sold jeans, t-shirts, sweaters, summer dresses, including western-style bridal dresses on the upper floor.  We had a lot of fun exploring this mall.
