Mzungu!!

Mzungu means "white person," and I am called mzungu EVERWHERE I go. Seriously, walking down the street, it's "mzungu, mzungu, mzungu." I have never had so much attention directed at me in my life. People just stare at us, and everyone always wants to talk to us. Sometimes it can be cool and I've met some interesting people. After awhile, however, it can wear on you. It's getting better in Ngong b/c people are used to us being here.

Kids always want to talk to us too. Here's what happens:

Kids: "How are you? How are you?"

Me: "Good. How are you?"

Kids: (hysterical laughter)

It's pretty funny. I've definitely never stuck out this much in my life. Even if I want to, I can't blend in - and people let you know it!
