yall might be wondering... sean, what have you done lately? well here i am to answer that. one of my biggest highlights so far is beheading a chicken. i did this sometime last week i think. first i had to pluck the feathers around where i was going to cut. then i stood on its feet and wings and grabbed the neck. then i whipped out my pocket knife and sliced through its skin cartilage and flesh. with the head still in my hand i stepped off it as i watched it try to stand up and run away. it struggled to stand up, and when it did it tried to run, but it had a really hard time trying to balance. so it kept taking a few steps and falling down over and over. it made it about 10 to 15 feet away from the place of execution when it just started to flop on the ground, similarly to a fish. it was quite an experience and i hear that we are having chicken for christmas again..... look out chickens, here i come!!!! i have also been to another wedding and introduction since then. the wedding which was yesterday was much nicer/fancier than the last. the bride and everyone else was actually ready when it was supposed to start which isnt very common in africa. the ceremony took place in a huge octagonal church. the reception was at a very nice hotel. after a while of sitting through the long talk during the reception, a few guys snuck me out of there and into the bar to watch soccer with them... that was awesome and cara was mad that we left her there :P ... today i went with one of my best friends, moses babu, to his sisters introduction. his brother is very funny and is absolutely crazy for my type of music. he is very talkative and told me at least 500 times how glad he was that i came to join them for this. this introduction was also much more enjoyable thanks to moses translating much of the talking for me. it was during this that i found out that he has 9 sisters and 4 brothers... holy crap!!! but overall it was much more enjoyable to me. i cant wait to find out what this upcoming week has in store for me!!!
