Just remember, those people, they dont want to be you, never. They would be very disappointed if they know that you are posting these pictures with the mean comments. You life high life doesnt mean everyone else is and should. If you dont like it there why cant u just leave instead of talking about it, nobody forced you to go. Where you expecting to be in Lasvegas or Los angeles? There are a lot of nice pictures you could have taken to show on your blog, but you chosed to take only negative images. One can take nasty pictures here in usa. Those are attitudes people dont like about some foreigners who come there. Remember, you dont have to be there and they give you a room to live in with no charge. You would charge them if it was in the states or send them to hotels and charge them for the foods as well.

It does not represent Senegal.<br />Marketing has been taught in Senegal for longtime. and yes people do market their products. You see billboards, flyers, and all sort of media marketing. No, it is not like here where people would buy anything as long as it is being shown to them on tv, magazines, newspapers etc...People are smart not to fall for just good marketing. Your product has to be good and that a lone is the best marketing strategy in Senegal. word of mouth.<br />It would make your stay more favorable if you dont compare USA and Senegal, they are totally different in all aspects. Eventhough people are not rich, they are happier than rich people here in the states. Everyone there socializes. You mention some man not wanting to shake your hand. Dont take that personal. That is someone who respect his wife and follows his religion's teaching-not to have any physical contact with any woman whom you are not married to or related to. I know it is hard to leave a confortable life here in the states and living in Senegal. The family you are staying with, give you much love and respect not because you are American, not because you are white, or black. They do that because that is what they know and that is how they are. People are friendly, very friendly to almost everyone who is open minded,but if you see yourself being better than them in anyway, that would translate to trouble. They will forsake you no matter who you are. Respect, respect and respect, we all are humans and God created all of us brothers and sisters.<br />Keep up the good work and thank you again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171370153810017375.post-50769941810244689332010-04-27T07:22:03.149+00:002010-04-27T07:22:03.149+00:00what would cheesy rice be called?what would cheesy rice be called?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171370153810017375.post-41283426995163339172010-04-27T01:37:01.309+00:002010-04-27T01:37:01.309+00:00It is really good to be terrified with a professio...It is really good to be terrified with a professional challenge! This is normal unlike all the other challenges you have faced in the last 9 months. You know what to do. Prepare for every possibility and remain flexible when none of those things happen. Your language skills won't matter that much if the students are confident that you know the material and you do.Sharylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506947538520881474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1171370153810017375.post-60117701967756995902010-04-26T20:32:48.187+00:002010-04-26T20:32:48.187+00:00Alyssa,

You have already gotten it started by getting a larger group then you thought in the planning stages. While they may not do anything latter they were at least interested and motivated to help get the process started. Relative to repairs, who does them now? Is it everyone for themselves or do they just let stuff sit if it does not work? I know based on earlier comments that that someone keeps the cars running forever.<br /><br />Daddadnoreply@blogger.com
