Dinner and a Football Match at the Ark


Last night was a great night of catching up with those that I knew last year from the Ark and building friendships with those who are new to the Ark. When I arrived at the ark this week, I was a bit sad to find that many of those I lived with last year had moved out of the ark for various reasons. So now, I have a whole new group to be friends with. Last night after Nshima and Kapenta for dinner, about 7 of us squeezed into a 6'X6' room with a bed, a chair, and a 12" color TV and watched Chelsea and Liverpool battle of the soccer field. About half the guys were rooting for Liverpool and the other half Chelsea. It was an action packed game that ended 4-4 but each goal would bring text messages to different cell phones and usually someone else coming to the door to cheer in another's face and then run through the halls cheering.

The ark is where I live, it's a building that has around 25 domiciles. Kind of like dorm rooms. but there is no toilet or shower and you have to cook outside. Almost like camping. Last year I posted a slide show containing pics of what the ark looks like.

Oh and I was going for Chelsea, which they are moving to the next round. It was rough though because at 25 min into the match Liverpool was up 2-0 and Chelsea didn't score their first goal till 50 min into the match. then the tied it 2-2 at about 65 min in or something. Anyway, it was an exciting match.
