A new MTC airtime promotion called ‘Free Money’ has people all over Namibia calling their friends on their cell phones and talking to them. It eats up your prepaid minutes so it’s a bit of a luxury and something we PCVs don’t do so much. We send each other missed calls. Call and hang up before the person answers as a way of saying hi. Sometimes the person picks up and then you're pissed cuz that just got you like N$3.
I decided to call my dear Amanda and shake up her day.
Amanda: Hahahaha it’s like we were in America for a sec! Friends calling friends just to say hi! Haha thanks lady! Hooray free money! Have a great day!
About Me Now

I do have running water (praise God!) but do have to boil it for drinking and to bathe. Just trying to keep my head up and my sense of humor about me as I navigate life in the desert at the edge of the earth, otherwise known as Epukiro.
