a time and a place for an ill-fitting polka- dot dress.

we went out to a bar on friday night, the republika, which really made me feel that we were in a tree-house. it is basically an expat hangout (and really, really nice to boot), with the entire spectrum represented…from the conservative ‘i’m in town for a conference’ to the looney ‘i’m a yalie who shouldn’t be here’. the yalie was especially ridiculous: she’s the roommate of one of our housemate’s friends, and showed up in a strapless, polka-dot dress, which did not fit her. we left before the real festivities began: she apparently gave someone a lap dance to top off a sketchy night (for that special someone) in kigali.

we went shopping (for groceries) for the fourth time in as many days today, and other than the outing last night, i haven’t seen much of kigali. tomorrow, we are off to hike mt. kigali with the housemates. pictures to follow.
