Quick Letter 2
Super hirap ng buhay dito, dami pang malaria mosquito, mukang nakagat na nga ako. Tapos puro oily chinese food pa kami breakfast, lunch at dinner - araw araw pareho kinakain namin, hindi man lang baguhin. Nagreklamo nga ako sa hotel sabi nila ganon daw talaga dahil wala namang mabibiling iba sa Juba kaya puro ganon pagkain namin.
Tapos ang bilis magbago ng temperature dito. Kapag umulan medyo ok tapos biglang iinit - super at puro alikabok dahil gravel/earth road lang, walang pavement.
Kanina, nag-inspect kami ni Yama ng bridges - super dumi at baho siguro 3 times ng mga bridges dyan ang dumi - puro pa bomba... yakkksss... nakatapak yata ako.
Pagdating ng 3pm sabi ko kay Yama, uwi na kami dahil masakit na ulo ko - baka ma high blood ako at hika sa dumi at alikabok dito.
Yung kwarto pala namin, may kulambo pa kami kung matulog dahil sa dami ng lamok at insekto. Tapos $150 per day kami pero 1 star lang yung hotel, ang pangit...
*Something to think about regarding living, especially in Juba

Hi everybody,
Kumusta na kayo? OK naman ako dito sa Juba pero Juba is a town in which anything can happen. The people are nice and kind - you will not feel hostile, unlike Manila. The town is very much like the Philippines maybe 35-40 years ago. There is only one paved road but many donors are coming in doing construction.
I was very much surprised here - marami palang negro dito sa Sudan. And Juba people (the originals) have very long legs (maybe suited for walking long distances) - this makes them very tall. Mukha akong pandak pag katabi ko mga taga-Juba. However, the original people are not so many kaya marami ding taga Kenya, Uganda at Ethiopia dito sa Juba. Super alikabok pala mga kalsada dito kaya mukang hihikain na naman ako dito.
We are staying in Summer Palace Hotel (Chinese hotel) with basically Chinese food from morning to evening - kaya lang five days na kami dito sa hotel e parepareho pa rin ang pag-kain namin - chicken, beef, may local vegetable, pineapple at watermelon. Wala yatang mabiling ibang pag-kain dito.
Medyo mabagal ang internet dito sa hotel kaya mahirap mag-email. Bukas punta kami sa magiging office namin sa Ministry of Roads and Transport - sana mabilis internet doon. Time difference here is 5hrs late, kaya 2pm ngayon at 7pm dyan.
I will send some pictures of Juba when I get faster internet connection.
Babuuuu...
