I am feeling so much better about life in Malawi. Things at work are coming together well and I am feeling independent and confident about being on my own out here. Kabula is nice and I am meeting many friendly people there. A Scottish girl, Allison, is especially friendly and invites me all sorts of places with her. Sean, from England, is also really nice and we often take the mini-bus to work together in the morning. They all went out to Blue Elephant bar last night and I was really torn. I wanted to go but I was still getting over being sick. I decided against the trip and it was fine. Another girl, Ellen, decided against the night out as well so it wasn't just me being a party pooper. Tomorrow, I have decided to go back to the lake and see Jamira and Maxwell and also do some jet-skiing with a new expat friend from South Africa.
Today, I went to the museum and danced with a traditional dance company, Chichiri dance ensemble. It wasn't quite the same as Africana but it had drumming, smiles and nice people. I held my own (despite not having eaten in 2 days) and had a lot of fun. They rehearse from 10-12 and from 2-4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They have also just decided to add Mondays to the schedule. We will see how much dancing I can fit in with work.
