Fact: I am Maasai. I've only spent two days in Saikeri but oh man, it's home. I've never felt this good before. The Maasai are incredible people...indescribable. My host mom, Maggie, is the nicest most accepting person I've met here. She doesn't speak ill of anyone and tries to find the beauty in everyone. And the landscape, and the stars at night, and the animals, and the people, and the way they dress and act and sing and dance...I'm in love. I could stay here forever. My room has no electricity, although the living room and Maggie's room do so that's no big deal. Our toilet is a hole in the ground with four walls around it (but at night if you have to pee it's way more beautiful and convenient to just step outside and pee under the stars). My school is literally right next door so my morning commute is about 2 minutes, and we can come home for tea breaks and for lunch. My class 2 kids are adorable. On Friday they started the day out by doing traditional dances to traditional songs- it was AWESOME. Seriously, I was supposed to be born Maasai. I just got put in the wrong body.
