Every day is a school dog

As everyday is a school day this is what I learned today;

1 - I learned how to prepare grasshoppers to be fried
A local delicacy here in Uganda is fried grasshopper - which I had the pleasure of trying last weekend with Denis... Note if your going to try this at home remember to chew the head really well or else it can cause constipation!
So how to prepare a grasshopper - first remove one from the potato sack of live grasshoppers then remove the legs, wings, tail and antenna (basicly just pull the off, and then throw the still squirming insect into the pot to be fried up laterA ... I walked away from the scene with grasshopper scum and guts under my finer nails not an effective beauty tip!!!

A big thank you to all my teachers in Bwaise who were basicly rolling around laughing at my attempts to de-leg the grasshopper and speak Ugandian...

2 - I learned a traditional African dance
As I arrived at the Masoli centre today the drama group were busy learning a new tribal dance and my attempt to slide in unnoticed and observe the activities were quickly cancelled out as I was invited to join in by both the students and masters. My rhythm is unfortunetly non existent but again there was lots of laughter...

So it seems that although I didn't impress my mentors with natural ability in any of these fields I may have a future in comedy...

Than God everyday is a school day...
