We attended an English class with one of the other volunteers yesterday. The highlight of the class was when we were trying to describe the word "rude". Most people didn't understand, but one girl knew all too well. She said, "oh, you mean like a bitch?"

Last night we went to Mohamed's house. He is the main coordinator between the volunteers and SVP. Sudanese people are know for their generous hospitality and he was no exception. He served an enormous try of Ful with bread and vegetables.

Today we attended class with a woman named Raga. She teaches at a small elementary school two bus rides away from our house. They didn't give us any training or warning, they just split up Emily and I and gave each of us our own class to teach. I had a great time, because my students were a little more advanced. We went over the names of various animals and sang Old McDonald. Emily had a tougher time, because her students were still learning the alphabet.

After school we made it to the main market in Khartoum and took the bus home by ourselves (for the first time). This evening we are going to a party hosted by another volunteer. We have events planned every night this week. My social life is better here than in the US!
