Paka analala
After two months and several dozen dollars, today I finally felt that my Swahili classes had been worth it: I learnt how to describe the most acute reality of our Musanze life. PAKA ANALALA. The cat is sleeping. BECAUSE, we have this cat, an emigrant from the DRC, called Goma, who just must be the laziest cat on the face of the earth. And the most possessive one. OK, also the most adorable one. The very moment you sit down, she takes over. It does not matter whether you wax your hiking boots or try to learn some Swahili. Goma will ALWAYS be there, on your lap. And try to remove her, because you simply cannot. Another housemate must come by, so that she change laps (although, I suspect she kind of likes me in particular ;)) So, if I have a devoted rafiki (friend) around here, then surely Goma is the one.
