More random bits
Posted By Sika on August 20, 2009
I was walking from Kris´house to meet her for lunch, and I got the usual “azungu! azungu!” that drives me crazy. One older kid was not just doing the normal excited speech that we get, but actually yelling, and seemed a bit angry. I studiously ignored him because I do not respond to kids shouting ”azungu”
He got more and more loud and agitated,
“Azungu! Azungu!”
(pause)
(louder) “Azungu! Azungu!”
(pause)
(at the top of his lungs) “Azungu Woyera*!”
(I try really hard not to bust up laughing and only succeed partially)
I still donºt understand why he said the next thing, “Do you speak English?!?”
*Woyera means white, or, my preferred meaning for this context, holy.
