made it to bko

so my bank finally gets an ATM machine great huh? but it's so Malian. i went to use it for the first time the other day and it literally took 5 min maybe even more for the money to come out. I thought it was broken but no it just takes a while... gotta love Mali

oh here's another gotta love Mali story. last night in celebration of my teammate Brooke's project getting funded we went out for cokes and whiskey. but the whiskey is no ordinary whiskey first of all it comes in a convenient sachet or little plastic bag, but if that doesn't tell you something, they are also imported... from Lome, Togo, who knew that Togo was a brewer of fine liquors??? Well, let me tell you, they're not....

Mali is out of the African cup of Nations (surprise surprise); from our group Nigeria and Cote d'Ivoire will continue onto the quarter finals.

Picking emily up tonight... can't wait!!!!

Have fun with your friend! I am at work getting paid $20/hr to do things my 5 year old cousin can do. It's good to be working in a city that has the highest amount of degreed people per sq mile, let me tell you. I feel like to get anywhere in DC you have had to be king of a foreign nation, started your own nonprofit (that bears your name of course), cured parkinsons, befriended jimmy carter, and came up with rules of physics that defy einstein----- in other words, kill me.

love you,
Michele
