That must have been so exciting!  I hope you can go again and bring back even more pictures!

[Loranflame]

I have lot's of picture of Tanzania and Kenya... in real Photo Albums. So ... you probably won't get to see them!

 

Your picture are pretty good. :D

I see they braided your hair and stuff... they do that to my sisters every time LOL.

It's very different from America/Europe, eh?

[Calyn Jessand]

Those pics are great, Nephitess!  Looks like you had a good time!  I've never been to Africa before.  What was your favorite part?

[Niamh Sedai]

That looks like such a cool trip!

[Raena]

It seems like a really interesting trip. Great pics!

[Guest nephitess]

The trip was amazing!!!  I favorite part was making friends. I have made some great friends and now have a big reason to go back. I would go back anyway, the friends just make it more of a sure thing. I loved the pace of life there. it is much slower than here in canada.

 

Loran, Yes I got my hair braided...it did not lastlong though. my hair started to come out...so i had to take it out after only 3 weeks. When i got it done i could not sleep for two days because my scalp was so sore!!! LOL

[Loranflame]

LOL... that's why my sister never got to try it on me. ;)

 

I haven't been there for  year or two I think. I don't know too muc habout Uganda. Usually I was just passing through on my way to Tanzania or kenya. What do you think of Swahili?

 

Habari?

[Guest nephitess]

I think Swahlil is a beautiful languge but i one know one word...Karibu!! hehe.

 

We should go to Uganda together...we can stay at my friends house. :D  You'll have to bewilling to use latrines though *shudders* that was something that took me forever to get used to.

[Alaksuleiel]

:) you're holiday looked awesome! I hope to get to Africa one day too :)

[Naeann]

OOOh that looks like so much fun!!!

 

I know a song in Swahili.  We did it for choir in HS.

[Loranflame]

Asante!

Tell me you know Asante! It's more important than karibu!  :P

 

LOL... My father's parents live in a small rural village!

Latrines are all the hype. :P

It's much easier for you to get used to latrines than for one of them to get used to toilets.  :D

 

Trust me... I know! :-X

 

[Guest nephitess]

OHHHHHHHH....*jumps in her seat* Yes i know Asante!!! I forgot....

 

Is it really easier??? hummmmmm thats something to think about....or not???

 

Naeann, what song was it that you sang??

 

 

[Loranflame]

Yeah! I'm pretty curious too.

 

Is it really easier??? hummmmmm thats something to think about....or not???

 

Yeah... I'd feel uncomfortable explaining it though if you get my meaning.  :-[

[Guest nephitess]

*rofl* I understand!

[U4ea]

*grins* hey, Neph! Welcome to the Tower!

 

I was taught a song in swahili when I was in Elementary School and I actually found it in a Music book at my last school.

 

*grabs the book she "borrowed" from her last school and thumbs through it, hunting*

 

Here it is! :D Che-Che Koo-lay! *grins* Funny how stuff sticks in your head so long, isn't it?

[Guest nephitess]

Wait untill you hear Luganda...i want to learn that language. The is the language they speak in Uganda. It is beutifull, my friend speacks it all the time. I even learned al ittle bit will i was there, but not enough to have a conversaion.

[Elgee]

I'm from (in) Africa, but I don't know any Swahili.  It's not spoken down here in the south.

[Loranflame]

i haven't heard much about it lately but that might change. ;)

 

Otherwise I believe Luganda is either a national version of swahili or a tribal/local language of the area in which you stayed. The official languages of Uganda/Kenya and Tanzania are all Swahili and English, french is also taught in schools though.

 

Che-Che Koo-Lay?  :o

LOL... I have yet to see a word written like that in Swahili.

But then my command of Swahili is greatly diminished. :(

[Guest nephitess]

Yup your about right. My Rommate speaks it. I think it is a beautifull language.

 

OOOooo...Elgee your in South Africa?? I was so close....*sad she did not know her before* next time i come to your continent i'll visit you..LOL

[Elgee]

*sits all alone and forlorn on a rock right at the southern point of Africa, gazing longingly out to sea*  hehehehe

 

would love to have people visit me !

[Guest nephitess]

Then it's settled...when i come again, i'll let you know. I wanted to go to South africa but are plans did not include your country.

 

*start saving her pennies*
