Malakal family

I was invited to my local colleague’s house the other day to meet his family. He has 5 kids & they are all ‘small-small’ :))) The youngest one is a girl, she is very cute! I was trying to hold her but she was crying. His house is big, it’s made by clay though considering bricks & cement are very expensive here!

Dear Friends,

How are you?… It’s time to get to know more about local life style & condition in Malakal…

I was invited to my local colleague’s house the other day to meet his family. He has 5 kids & they are all ‘small-small’ :)))

The youngest one is a girl, she is very cute! I was trying to hold her but she was crying. His house is big, it’s made by clay though considering bricks & cement are very expensive here! I took some pictures of them, please see attached just so you know more about local life in Malakal, Southern Sudan!

By the way, I also took picture of the food which we had at local restaurant the other night, it was total SDG 20 including 3 soft drinks for myself & 2 other colleagues. It was not bad, was it?… My local colleagues also took me to have some tea & ginger which sold by a woman in front of local store in Malakal market downtown during evening. It was the first time for me to hang out & have ‘normal’ social life in Malakal. It was fun, I enjoyed it! I told my colleagues to do this kind of activity at least once a month to get healthy life in Malakal.

Cheers,
Imelda

Dear Imelda,

Thanks for sharing those photos and making me better understood on how the life of the locals there in Malakal. (Do they have a set of DSTV? – Satellite receiver),as some in IDP Camps in Liberia, I found that one or two must have established a satellite TV connection as they making business out of the live-football match championship.. like a theater spot :-)

Thanks for sharing and keep them coming…
