The Sudan - 24

Our guest house is "basic" - everyone told us it would be.
My room is on the ground floor. I remember my personal safety training; ground floors are to be avoided, but i dont like to make a fuss. Actually we were shown the upstairs rooms but they arent any more pleasant, and they are likely to be hotter than those downstairs, and besides i getting used to this place already, i feel quite safe (though i do understand that there is a guard living just outside our guesthouse)
My room is about 10'square. it has a hat-stand, a chair, a small square table, 3 office filing cabinets (which i presume are wardrobes) and a single bed. What more am i going to want?
The offices have internet so we quickly make for that. These are pretty good offices by comparison and i can see us spending most of our time here - the guard will let us in and out whenever we want.
Dinner tonight was made for us by Isa. There is another chap staying in the building with us. He's Sudanese and an expert in miro-finance. we sat togther and ate vegetably, meaty things. I will try to find the names of some of these. Ive given up on worrying about the cleanliness. I'll continue to only drink bottled water, but i dont have much choice on what im given to eat. Its delicious, so i shall be grateful and hope for the best. I had a guava and a banana as well. Kasalla is famous for its grapefruit, oranges and bananas, so i hope to get a good filling of vitamin C..... i just hope i get a good nights sleep
