Hello there,
The day has been strenuous and full of discoveries.
I woked up early, around 5 AM, to walk around Lilongwe with one of camp friends, George.
George came from Alaska five mounths ago, so he's pretty much of a veteran in the camp since.
He told me to pack water and insect repellent; I brought a little amount of money too, he told me there could be nice things at the market place.
There was a fresh heat when we left, the sky was loaded of red stripes that came out from the resplendent ball.
 The camp is located on the suburbs district, so we entered the city after walking a couple a miles.
George wanted me to visit some old streets where mans use to play the xylophone.
We could see lots of kids playing football on the streets, screaming "goal!", imitating some football celebritie's celebration.
I then understood why we got up so early: It was near twelve o'clock and the heat was abominable.
We got into a tipical Malawian restaurant food. The clim was on, and that was all that mattered to me.
We ate some fried insects, I didn't expect it to be so good! George told me there were more proteins in those larvas than any kind of other flesh.
Then, we went to the market place. And he was right: There were nice things.
Even tough I only bought a mask and a wood necklace, there were plenty of more interesting things.
The market overflowed food carts, crafted accesories and people.
We got back around 7 PM, all tired and anxious to meet our bed.
It was a great experience that I'll never forget.
Thank you George! Thank you people from Malawi!
Thanks to you too readers.
