Independence day!
Congratulations Malawi! =) Today you have been an independent country for 46 years! =)
we went with Justice to Lilongwe to watch the celebrations in Lilongwe Arena. Justice is incredible; he somehow (don't ask me how!) got us in through the V.I.P gate and placed us just some meters from the President himself! It was really cool. Lots of safety guards and policemen.
the celebrations startet with parading military, and then there were traditional dances from all the 28 districts of the country. Some dances were really fun and entertaining to watch! The men and women dressed them selves as animals; minotaurs, lions, horses and warriors. One district had made a giant grasshorse, looked kind of like the trojan horse =) two or three men inside the horse, dancing like crazy! Very entertaining to watch! =)
The dances were followed by many hours of speeches...... In chichewa......... ;) I tried to stay awake, but I couldn't help falling asleep.... ;) hehe. Sorry, Mr. President! I'm sure your speech was veery good! =)
President Bingu Wa Mutharika
well, lets go back in time a little... We also went to lilongwe on sunday, on a roadtrip with Justice. He showed us a lot of places; where to go, where NOT to go, where to eat, where NOT to eat etc... Very helpful! =) And he also tried to show us the presidents home. But the house was heavily guarded... Five gates had to be passed before the house could be seen, and at each gate there were armed military. We didn't even make it through the first gate.... The military guards thought we were paparazzi! =) heehe. So we had to wait outside while Justoice went in (to pick up a friends who worked there). But it was OK, we had a really nice time chatting with the guards. and they promised us that next time, they would let us in... ;) hihi.
Ok what else? Yes GOOD news! the man i wrote about, (the patient whose brain were leaking out of his ear, remember?) He actually survived! =) He was discharged from the hospital today. The only thing we could do for him in lack of surgery was to treat him with LOTS ans LOTS of steroids... We didn't really think it would work, but it seems like it did! =) The doctor responsible for him, Dr. Rona (26 yrs old girl, from England) made a great job. She saved his life! =)
I hope to upload some pictures from the independence celebrations tomorrow! =)
Ggood Night! =)
