Airplanes

Some of you may know the song "Airplanes" by B.o.B. Well now Kowak, Africa knows it too! We recently had our first Tanzanian guests. Some of the nurses stopped by to say hi one afternoon, and thay wanted us to sing some American songs...we opted for playing American music instead! One song that came up was "Airplanes." We ended up translating a bit into Swahili, "Ndege, Ndege, iko wapi?" (airplane, airplane, where you at?), and the nurses got the biggest kick out of it! They in turn told the other nurses about it, and started singing it whenever we came. The patients heard them do it, and now they sing "Ndege, Ndege.." when we walk into the wards! Next, one of the nurses translated it into Luo, one of the local dialects, so now we're singing it in 3 languages. The best part is, as I was writing this blog, I listened to the song, and realized that those aren't even the right words! Oops!! Too late to change it now, they love the song!

PS we were able to post a few more pictures!
