I know...2 blogs in 1 day...I am really outdoing myself:) However, this is just a short funny story I had to share.
So tonight 4 of us who play tennis regularly went to the place we usually go for a little Sunday evening tennis. We went at 8pm which is a little later than usual, but not much. This is a fairly nice "club" by African standards. Well, we get there and the lights are off and it looks like no one is there. We are a bit confused but thinking since it was a Benin national holiday yesterday maybe it is closed for the weekend. We ask the guard why it is closed. He proceeds to tell us that all the workers decided they didn't want to work any more today and went home...there was no real reason they were closed, just that. LOL...TIA. We found this quite amusing, yet for some reason not a bit suprising. We pulled ourselves together after a good laugh and drove back to the ship. Right when we got back someone who had seen us leave asked us how tennis was and why we were back so early... in which Suey responds...well, lets just say, Africa-1, Yovos-0. For those of you who do not know, yovo is what all the African people call white folk. Anyhoo...pretty funny. I laughed so hard.
Im going to have to try that one when I get a job someday back in the states. "Ya know boss, Im just not feelin like workin right now..think Im gonna head home for the rest of the day."
