Day 5

Friday started out a little abruptly; had been thinking I'd be able to wander into town and get a few things before I went off to camp for the weekend, but I got a call @ about 10am saying that I was going to be picked up an hour’s time :S Rod also mentioned during the call that I’ll be coming back to the YDC on Sunday, so that’s good too

So I quickly got up, packed, and saddled into a ute to pick up the other L'Abri staff in town...

Up to the camp we went, prepared the site and prepared supper (what they call dinner); the kids got there a little late, so all they had time for was indoor activities and the introduction, before we packed in for the 'night


Observations
• A junior taxi (i.e. a non-van taxi) with the branding "Arrive Alive" on the side of it
• Apparently the only time you see a chinaman here is because he's here to open a business
• With a normal knock-off time of 4pm here, people normally start leaving @ 3:30pm
• I don't know what I was afraid of with the flying thing here; if I make it through 10+ weeks of driving on these roads, THAT'll be the be miracle :S
• The flying bugs here are MASSIVE
• Street protests are incredibly musical and festive
• Saw a bunch of ebola monkeys scampering across the road (you know, the cute one from the movie "Outbreak")
