Entertainment at Club La Liga

At 1AM, Club La Liga started its entertainment which involved a woman dancing with a flaming bowl on her head.

Sally dancing at Club La Liga

Julia from Finland



Ed, you are disgusting...

And then there is Sally...

(the video is low quality because it was dark, but the audio is the best part)



To explain what she is saying in the video:

I told her that money is the key to life.

I mentioned that it's man's quest to see as many naked bottoms as possible. My reference for this comes from the BBC TV show Coupling: "When man invented fire, he didn’t say, 'hey, let’s cook', he said, 'great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark.'"

And, a few days before this video was taken, my camera was sitting on a table by itself and flashing its green light getting ready to shut down and Sally thought it was filming her friend's breasts...????



If you watch carefully, you can catch a glimpse of Sally in the following video.

Children at the Orphanage in Tanzania








My camera has a video option. I started to use the video feature and the children started to ham it up for the camera, especially when I showed them the videos.

Blowing Up a Balloon


I visited an AIDS orphanage while I was in Tanzania. These children had mothers and fathers who had died of AIDS.

One child, in particular, played non-stop with a balloon that was brought to him. He is in mid-inhale, trying to blow up the balloon in the lower picture.

So if you add Altar Wine and Konyagi together, what do you get???

If you add Altar Wine and Konyagi together, you get a concoction I like to call "Heaven and Hell."
I do not recommend you try this combination yourself, especially if you bias the mix towards Konyagi...it will be like releasing the Devil into Heaven.

Konyagi

Tanzania's version of firewater (ie. grain alcohol)...it even has flames on the label.

It tastes a little like gin....or whatever you add it to...Fanta Passion soda, orange juice, etc.

Altar Wine!!!!????!!!

I found this at the Kilmanjaro Supermarket in Moshi, Tanzania...tasted like grape juice.
