Sarah in Senegal: Sunshine and Mangoes
http://sarahdo.blogspot.com/2009/04/sunshine-and-mangoes.html
Monday, April 27, 2009. Wolof word of the day:. Fecc = to dance. (pronounced like "fetch") The command form is "feccal". We were forced to dance in front of very entertained Senegalese people about every 5 minutes during our trip to Toubacouta. The night was almost as peaceful as the day, except for the zoo under my bed and the fire ant that kept crawling all over me and biting me. I never knew what they were like, but it's weird because it kind of itches but also feels like you were burned.

Sarah in Senegal: August 2009
http://sarahdo.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 1, 2009. So My Senegal experience has in fact been useful now that I'm home. And to all those people who used to say, "Why would you take French? You'll never use it. Spanish. Is useful": I'm using my French. In America. Through some miraculous chain of events (e-mails), I found out about the Freedom House. It is a temporary residence for refugees while they are applying for political asylum in the U.S. And where are these refugees from? And this (playing outside with my "baby" cousin).

Postcards: March 2009

March 26, 2009. That was a really nice day. I read, I napped, I swam, I got a safe, protected tan in some places and angry red sunburns in others, and had a general good time. Wait, brainwave. It depends on what kind of customs form you put on the package. If it’s the little green one, it goes to Fann. If it’s the big white one, it goes to Colis Postaux. Perhaps there world is a logical place after all. Nothing bad happened, and as it turned out, my host mom, Anita, and Moussouba all voted! 8221; with bi...

Postcards: Spring Break
http://krooke.blogspot.com/2009/04/spring-break.html
April 7, 2009. Photos from my spring break. Last week, during my spring break, I traveled to the southern region of Senegal, called Casamance. It’s known for its lush, green landscape, gorgeous sandy beaches, and the Diola people who live there who have carefully guarded many of their traditional cultural practices. Also, the violent separatist movement. Would operate much the same way as other modes of transportation in Senegal – stuff as many people in as possible. It would get dangerously ov...In 2002...

Sarah in Senegal: September 2009
http://sarahdo.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 28, 2009. At long last, my Top Ten list of things I miss about Dakar, a.k.a. the most ridiculous things. 10 “Hamburger complète”: a burger with ketchup, mayo, fries, and a fried egg on it. Possibly some other things I don’t even remember anymore…. 9 Houses that don’t actually close to the outside: what happens during the rainy season? 7 Marché Sandaga: best place to shop EVER. It makes me hate malls even more! 8221; or “nanga def? 8221; or “will you marry me? 4 MyShop: It’s a gas ...

Sarah in Senegal: 100% Animist
http://sarahdo.blogspot.com/2009/05/100-animist.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. I realize that it has been an absurdly long time since my last blot post. Don’t worry: I’m still alive! It’s just life as usual in Dakar, but with building frustration with this place. I hate to complain, but this is just ridiculous. Problem Number 1: Casamance. She is off work for 2-3 weeks. But enough complaining. Good thing it’s 2 weeks until I go home; there’s nothing like a nagging fake mother to appreciate your real one, who treats you like an independent adult.
