the malaria syndrome

Posted on March 12th, 2008 by Frank

So here I am, my laptop is fixed (finally!), I’m sitting on my bed feeling like crap, I just caught a bad cold, we all know how it starts, you get this weird dry feeling in the top of your mouth, and before you know it the slime is everywhere. funny thing is that a cold is also 1 of the symtomes of malaria, but I’m not worried.

Now how did I get this you might wonder… well… a teacher from college arrived yesterday, he had a cold, and since my immune system is probably pretty weak from the malaria pills my guess is a handshake was enough to make me feel this bad. We’ve all heard the stories before about westerners introducing bad virusses to tribes wiping them out completely, guess this is not simular but it still sucks…

what else, uhmm, think we’re gonna have a “Braai” today (basically a BBQ) with the german students who are also staying at the lodge. there will be lots of meat which is always good, especially since I had vegetarian food yesterday (some of the people in our crew are vegetarians). I don’t know how much I’ll eat though since I’m not feeling that well.

I finished the webisode today, and it should be online tomorrow for you all to see at www.virusfreegeneration.eu/hiphoptour/
