When we’ve greeted some guards (perhaps ones that don’t know much English) with “Hello!” They respond by touching their chest and saying “I am fine.” Good. Us too.
“Mmmm.” Something that appears to be a summon, a private joke, and a ‘I hear you, but I think you’re an idiot.’ We’ve heard it used on talk radio and when a supervisor was getting his
employee to walk us to the car, he said, “Ernest! Mmm!”Whenever I say, “Can I please have ____?” our wait staff responds with “Yes, please.”
We have one waiter who slightly resembles a young Will Smith. I asked him to teach me something in Swahili this morning, and once I got it, I said “Yeah, I’m almost a native now!” and he laughed and said, “Yeah, you’re just like me!”. Right.
Coming soon is a video of our favorite waiter Nicholas (or Nicky, as I like to call him) teaching me some words!
But then, Nicky also told me my future… sort of. Upon finding out that I’m not married, even though I’m wearing a wedding ring (apparently, it would have been weird for 5 women to travel together without being married. I’m not liking this ring thing, so whenever I see a cute guy, I move it to my middle finger), he predicted that I would be married within a year. I started laughing so hard, I think I scared him a little bit.
