na haow? lol yes i am trying to learn Pidgin and this means how are you? you respond by A day which means fine. i know this along with a few other random phrases like ya name na weti? which means what is your name and do you know how to swim? which is you sabi for swim? as you can probably tell it is broken english with a mix of french and african langueges mixed in. i love it but can hardly remember the few sentences i know so i must practice. i want to say happy birthday to dad though it is belated i am sure you had a great time at wasaga and has lots of tequila and hair snorting fun lol. well all is fine here and is kinda the same. cute little kids and wonderful food. oh and to Lorie i did call early it was like 7am but that is like 12pm here and it is a motorbike not a ricshaw lol they are kinda like your old dirt bike but more beat up. and the snacks are crackers, plantain chips, to which i am addicted, fruit drinks and other odds and ends. nothing too scary dont worry and i dont know my address and unles you can send me a pizza or a turkey with stuffing i am quite fine for now lol. i would love to take home one of the kids god they are cute and so loving. but alas that would be way to much work at the moment i will wait until i am out of school to come back and adopt one then lol. thats all for now enjoy your haloween i will be thinking of you because i dont belive it is a big deal or even recognized here. laters take care and love you all. emily
