Thursday: Woke up and felt fine for registration – during Survival Wolof felt my gut revolt – entered the “Hostility” stage of cultural adjustment – passed out for a few hours – went back for family orientation – reminded that my family CHOSE to host – willing to accommodate American students – learned I had a widowed host mother and sister who played basketball
Friday: ACI cross-cultural orientation – hiked through developing Dakar to Baobab Centre – had hella cool resource person named Haby – ate large Senegalese meal out of a bowl – Dakarrhea returned – arrived back at Arc-en-ciel to find that Serigne had already packed up most of my baggage! – moved in with host mother Ariene
Saturday: Felt well enough to jog again – went on long walking tour of downtown Dakar for three hours with a nice guide who called me “Stevens” – upon return, scoped out the host mothers of my group members – found out that Kalii and I are “cousins” through our related mothers – came home and passed out – lovely salad dinner – mentioned “digestive issues” to my host mother – broke out the medicine box!!!
