There is a festival of sorts going on in Ouaga currently called SIAO. It’s basically a big fair with a TON of venders selling stuff from all over Africa – its pretty sweet.
Last night I went with some of the youth to check it out and buy some fun stuff. While we were walking around we ran into this ladies selling t-shirts and fun African looking souvenirs (which is basically what everyone is selling…). They were selling this cloth book cover/protector for small books and there was a book inside of it to display it. I opened up the book and it was written in Chinese characters. Micah and Robbie asked if I could read it so I told them I could. They were pretty doubtful but I was fooling them. The lady selling it was looking at me knowing the truth and so while laughing she reached over and turned the book over in my hands because I was holding it upside down!
I have never seen those boys laugh so hard!
