Just a quick power update: my house had a grand total of six hours of power for the entire weekend. At one point when it turned on, I quickly took a shower, shaved, and literally, by the time I closed the door to my bedroom to change, the power was out again.

In the end, the only thing that I really miss power for is the fan: it gets really stuffy at night. Plus, the telecommunications company Orange is in the house next to mine and they have a generator that runs every minute that the power is not on: imagine a semi idling next to your window. Oh, and a goat. There’s a goat in their yard that they ignore, apparently. It bleats all night long at four second intervals.

The fan (and electricity) would solve all of this.

Oh and the motto for today from Bangui (from my co-worker “if it ain’t broke, break it”).
