Give me my water!

On Friday night, a few of us decided to meet our new ex-pat friend Joe, and his roommate Ben out at a local hangout, the Bamboo Nest. We walk in to a patio full of locals staring at us. Or so we thought. Turns out there is a giant screen in the corner of the room playing old school music videos such Michael Jackson, Arrested Development, Lional Richie, country and Madonna. Locals head to the bamboo nest for a night full of watching music videos, sitting in silence and staring at Muzungu's in anger as they block the video screen.

The evening ended with a new development on the Wellie front. We head home and as we round the stairs, we see Wellie sitting behind the column, legs tucked behind him. He's learning fast. As we walk by Whitney yells "Hi Wellie", and Wellie grunts in response. Wellie then proceeds to follow us upstairs as we're laugning and walking to our apartment. We think that Wellie is going to say "Hi Wellie" to all American people that he meets in the future, since he thinks its a common greeting. It also turns out that Wellie has a new role for the building, he's the manager of our guard. Or at least he thinks he is. He has a new management mindset. He came upstairs as the other team members were heading home and told our guard that he needed to station himself downstairs. Our guard refused, and informed Wellie his orders were to stay in front of our door. The next night Wellie came back and told our guard that he needed to stay right in front of our door. Hmmm.

Jeanah heard a commotion behind the door and came outside to check. Wellie was standing there and demanded to Jeanah "Give me my water". Jeanah quickly closed and locked the door.
