Field Trip!
June 23rd, 2004Just got back from one of the wards in KwaMachi where there was a big meeting with the local Ngcosi (the tribal chief, whose title is translated as “His Majesty”). The whole thing was quite an experience (and almost entirely in Zulu), quite exotic, formal and quaint, even if the whole meeting was held in a new, modern building with fluorescent lighting and fabric office blinds.
The nearly three hour travelling time was quite tiring though.
PS: I saw my first South African chickens today!! Big fat hens with little chicks swarming after them, scrawny pullets and strutting roosters

howdy Jason!
this is my first stop by your corner of the blogosphere this summer. sorry i haven’t been very online-oriented. it’s good to hear about the chickens and chutney. a friend and i have been intending to start doing Indian cooking this summer, so i plan to assist you. phone numbers &c. will be sent by email within the next day or so. when you said looking forward to Quincy, i _hoped_ you meant “looking forward to _DeWolfe_”, so your previous post was reassuring.
