August 18, 2005

7:33 pm So I am such a loser-in bed at 7:30-I don’t plan on sleeping yet but I need some me time, not to mention I have a little fever (100) but that’s after IB profen.

Today we were in Dili-AGAIN. We went to Arte Moris which is basically an art school but not really. It is a compound where anybody can come “do art” They have theater, music, painting, sculptures. About 30 people live there (for free) and do their art. They have a music room where they can record. It is the only established place of its kind in ET. It is amazing. We didn’t hear any music or see any theater but the art was fabulous. Like I am not usually enthralled or interested by paintings but these were so cool-I am going to try to get one and send it home at some point. They are having their first ever theater conference in a couple weeks-we are going to try to go. The theater group is called Bebe Bolak (crazy goat) and they work on doing plays that double has public service (a lot of health issues) announcements. The Galaxy-the music group that records there is super popular here now and they do the same type of education based music. It is an amazing set up and they 1st place I have been where I wasn’t stared at for being a foreigner-they were all so nice there.

So have that we had pizza and then medical talks the rest of the afternoon. I feel icky so I just wanted to be home.

Oh-they are being so quiet, it is so wonderful.

My host mom is also asleep but she was up all last night cause some super father (priest) from India died a couple days ago. He has lived here since 1947-crazy!
