African Braids

April 24, 2017

Hahaha I only worked like two hours today… and the rest was… sitting on the chair doing this!! 

It started around 11:30am, and we didn’t finish until 6pm!! Well we took break for lunch, but still.  I was bored sitting there and playing the same games on my phone for six hours.

I think I fully blend in now.

The hairdo cost $12… that is crazy considering this is almost minimum wage in US. For 6 hours… it’s difficult to earn money here.  I asked William what the minimum wage is here.  He said its $2.50 USD... A DAY! Not an hour.

Before the braiding started. Me, the hair dresser, and Helen (from left to right)

First Braid 

Many braids after...

I think this was half way done

This is sweet bananas in Africa. It's so tiny but very good!

Taste more sweet and firm (Creamier) compare to regular bananas. 

FInished!

I have to sleep like this the first night.
You're supposed to keep it tied up like this
so it doesn't fall apart 

I am now officially "Blasian"
