As far as my living situation, I'm in my own house with my own concession on the edge of the village. I cook my own breakfast and eat lunch and dinner with a family that the village had chosen for me. My host mother and father are Pepelon and Anage. They have 4 kids. Usually, I stay for tea after dinner and people come over to visit.
Tea here involves heating up a tiny pot over charcoals, and adding lots of sugar.
Sometimes, one person makes it in the field when people are working it is an interesting custom. Right now, I'm working on settling in, getting my bearings, getting to know the community, and trying to learn the language. These last two go hand in hand and are really hard. People are really kind and helpful, but not being able to converse definitely makes interaction difficult. I do get tutored about twice a week, which helps a lot, but progress is slow.
