Video Contest

So last year I made a video for this Peace Corps Video Contest about living in my ger (if you didnt see it, click this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-IESbRCuRM).  It was actually my first time even experimenting with how to edit a video together, and it was a fun project for my down time...

Well, this year, I made another video for the contest!!  It is about my friend, Firecracker.  Anyway, PC only judges the top viewed videos, so please go check out the video, and if you feel so inclined, share it with everyone you know!

On buying extra bananas

I think in the states, I probably ate at least one banana a day.  My favorite fruit by far…but bananas are a rare treat where I live now.  They don’t always come, but when they do…yum. 

One day, I was in our grocery outlet, and they had bananas…I bought 4…two to eat right away (as fast as I could put them into my mouth) and then two, which I would eat on subsequent days…because what is more joyful then waking up and eating a banana for breakfast! ESPECIALLY when you have peanut butter to go with it.

So I had these two extra bananas.  It took a lot of self-restraint not to eat them the same day, but I made it.  I think I fell asleep thinking about them.  So when I awoke the next morning, I completed my morning routine of fire making and bed making, and then bright eyes and bushy-tailed got ready to eat my banana for breakfast.  My extreme exhilaration was however RUINED when I came across my now FROZEN bananas-hard as a rock after spending the night sitting out in my ger. 

To make good out of a bad situations, yes, I still got to mix REAL banana mush in with some oatmeal for breakfast, but banana buyers beware and heed my advice-  when buying extra bananas, it is just best to eat them all at once.  There is no time like the present.
