What a Day...

Hello everyone! Today was a great day! Now that I have been here for six weeks, there is a few things I still wanted to do, and I got to do them with a number of people that a really care about and I have meet from being here which was great. 

Me and two of my room mates meet up with some friends, and then walked to Chinatown, yes Chinatown in Namibia. You can get lots of cheap quality things there that are very cheap just as in the United States.  We made our way back to our friends house and then we went to get some more Kapana and the Single Quarters Market.  We ate meat and salad and bread. It was great!  We then made our way in the market to find traditional Owambo skirts.  We found the skirts and had a little photo shoot in the shop before leaving.  The women gave us the head scarfs to wear for free as well. 

We then decided to leave the market with our outfits on.  Keep in mind, not too many people wear traditional wear around Windhoek unless it is some sort of event or wedding of some sort.  We got in the taxi and sand the whole way home.  We got home with our outfits and then started making some jewelry to go with our skirts that we bought from China Town.

We then made our way shopping and got lots of souvenirs from women who make the crafts themselves by Zoo Park. I was able to get many great things there! Pictures to come soon! 

Thanks, Angela
