Elections

As I am slowly learning a little bit about the Tanzanian system of things, I must tell you guys about the most important thing. I finally got my absentee ballot! The funny thing was it came in a Priority Mail envelope..as if that means anything here in TZ..ha ha. :) I mailed it immediately upon arrival..it costs $3.50..3500 shillings..so the guy I voted for must win! Just kidding. I discussed the elections with my mama's friend who is very well educated. He is a Tanzanian man who used to be general manager for a telecommunications company in TZ. He spent 8 months in Japan which is awesome. That was the first deep conversation I have had while coming here..it felt great. :)
