Peace Only: December 2012

Books I Have Read (with opinions). Dec 19, 2012. Quest: Find the Fulas. I originally wrote this post on my new blog, but then I figured, since people are still reading this one, I might as well include it here, too. My Pulaar language skills are fast deteriorating and I'm still no closer to locating the Fulas of Connecticut. I've joked about posting flyers around town- A faami ko mi windii? And maybe that someone would speak Pulaar! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Books I Have Read (with opinions). Jan 28, 2013. The moment I'd been waiting for. Every day I wear the following around my left wrist:. The orange and black beaded bracelet that Rugi picked up from the dirt and gave to me. The orange and black beaded bracelet that Tulai slid off her own wrist and onto mine because it matched. Two of the blue beaded bracelets that came in a set of twelve I bought one morning at the Sunday market from the woman who also sells blue laundry detergent and handmade soap. Turns...

Books I Have Read (with opinions). Sep 3, 2012. The contemplation of it. 8220;I only thought that I had never seen the country so lovely, as if the contemplation of it would in itself be enough to make you happy all your life.” - Isaak Dineson, Out of Africa. I think I’m finally ready to write my final post, which is good, because I leave for the airport in nine hours. And I wish I hadn’t calculated the number of remaining hours just now, because a jolt of panic just ran through me. Or go to church.

Peace Only: Glossary
http://sonjathegambia.blogspot.com/p/glossary.html
Books I Have Read (with opinions). I've never written a glossary before- this is exciting! These two girls are. Asobi for a wedding. Alkalo: The head of the village. Aparante: The guy who collects the fare for a gelle. Asobi : Hideous fabric purchased for any sort of ceremony or celebration. The fabric is bought by all the attendees and is sometimes even tailored in the same style. It is bad luck to wear your asobi outfit prior to the event. Banjul as seen from the July 22 Arch. The capital of The Gambia.
