Day 16

30-10-09

It seems to be getting warmer finally, now that we´re getting closer to Summer! Bring on the tan! Although the downside to the increase in temperature is that everything smells ten times worse! As it was nice and hot today I put on my sandals but anytime I was walking anywhere I was extra aware of where I was placing my feet as there is dog excrement, rubbish, dirty nappies and broken glass just about everywhere.

Yas has got bronchitis due to the amount of sand and dust in the air, as well as the air being damp and moist at night and early mornings. Yas is such a funny character; on a completely different planet from the rest of us. He uses an inhaler which expired in 2005 yet he swears by it, he wears women´s jumpers claiming that they are for men, he thinks that humans don´t contribute a thing to global warming and that the high rate of growing CO2 emissions is completely natural, during work today he actually said "poverty is no excuse for uncleanliness and lack of hygiene", and worryingly his life ambition is to become a doctor in the army. I´m sure by the end of this project we´ll be able to write a book on Yas.

Carla seemed to be really upset this evening and looked like she had been crying a lot but I don´t know what about. So me and Millie decided to ditch our plans for going to Dina´s Halloweén party and bought lots of pigging out snacks for us all to eat whilst watching Al Fondo Hoy Sitio, and we got Millie´s face paints out and pised around all night and that seemed to cheer her up immensely! I love our family here!
