Mzungu down | A lot of stories
https://alotofstories.wordpress.com/2013/08/07/mzungu-down
A lot of stories. August 7, 2013. I fell into a hole the other night. It was quite the ordeal. I was walking with my host sister, Saluwa, on an evening errand to buy some phone credit. We were crossing a busy-ish street, and were hastening across to the other side. As we got closer, we started walking we’d made it. And then I was on my back at the bottom of somewhere dark and cement-y. It felt dark and deep and damp, and my first instinct was to get myself out who knew what was down there? And it took a ...

“Authentic”? | A lot of stories
https://alotofstories.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/authentic
A lot of stories. The ‘Real’ Junior Fellow →. August 8, 2013. When I first moved into my new host family, I was uneasy. If a lifestyle is being lived, it is as authentic as it gets. And this is so true. Is there a typical “Western” lifestyle? If a Ugandan moved into my just-big-enough room at university and saw it wasn’t. They see in our media, who would they be to decide what’s typical, what’s authentic? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter, en anglais ou en français🙂. August 9, 2013 at 3:14 am.
