6/3 Sunday
Today, Fatuma and I went to the beach.....eventually. She actually showed up pretty much in time, but then she got a phone call that a friend of her back home forgot her sim card in Fatumas phone and that she had to return it. Her friend lived 2 hrs away....so we took a number of busses to get there. Every bus trip cost 300 Tsh and you pay for every new one you get on. I think today, I have been on abt 15 busses, 2 motorbikes, 2 bajajis and 2 ferrys. Haha! Fatumas house in Tegeta was nice, although prob even more poor then the house in which I am staying. She shared her house with 4-5 other women and told me its very common for 2 familys to share a house of two rooms.
Eventually, we reached the beach (at around 15.00 western time). To enter the beach, I had to pay 7000Tsh for each of us. Like I said....if you are white, you have to pay for it all!
Note to myself: Bring more clothes for swimming next time. I was the only white and it seems to be a good idea to cover as much skin as possible.
Everyone wanted to be my friend, especially this Indian guy Haytham. 5 min after I met him, he told me 'I am going to do everything to show you how much I love you' and 'I cant live without you, you are the only one who can make me happy' etc etc.... Pob a mistake to give him my number haha, but I was so happy I met someone who were speaking ok english... Since then, I have got abt 10 msg a day from him in style with ' Im so happy we met, I need to see you again, I cant stop thinking abt you, even when my eyes are closed I can still see you, I hope you do realize how much I love you' Haha!! I told him you cant love someone after just 10 min but he disagreed. According to Gizelle, I seem to attract indian guys.
Anyway, we had a really nice time at the southern beach and I'll prob go back there another weekend. I am also really glad I met Fatuma, she is so nice and takes so well care abt me!
