Visited Radio Democracy where Nam will be working, also run by an extremely dynamic woman, and the Concord Times, where Danny will be working. Lethargy prevailed. Reporters barely lifted their heads from their keyboards to acknowlege us.

Things are much more developed than I thought, though of course all is relative. I had drinks at Paddy’s, the restaurant that was in Blood Diamonds last night, while a bunch of SLeoneans did a boy band-style choreograph dance routine (complete with outfits) to Jamaican dancehall. This is a weird-ass country.

Mosquitoes are bad at night. Rob who was here for eight months got malaria seven times. Something to look forward to. Am taking the paranoia-inducing mefloquine but am not prone to insanity so hope for the best.
