bjbj Dear Mama, I am just writing you to let you know I have reached Down under. The plane
ride was very long, but thank God I have finally arrived. a pretty flight attendants realized
that this was my first flight and looked after me. During the flight it got very bumpy as
if there were pot holes in the sky. The plane started to shake and dropped into one of these
holes like those back home and I felt like my belly-bottom was falling out. It was a
good thing that you were praying for me, because I felt like the plane was going to crash.
But I cried out Jesus and the pilot regained control over the plane. The plane finally
landed after umpteen hours of flying. The workers at the airport looked like they were
trying to steal the coconut drops and grater cake but they couldn t find it. My bottle
of rum broke though, and my suitcase broke up as well. It was a good thing that I dint
take the pound a mackerel and the roasted breadfruits because there was a very large
sign at the airport saying that meat and fish and all kinds of meats would be confiscated
(she can t pronounce the word so she mis-interprets to think it said it will cause Con to skate
) Now I don t know who Con is, but he must be one really important person, because if
food and fish and meat is going to make him skate then he must me a simpleton as far as
I am concerned. The place is really pretty though and everybody lines up for the bus.
did you know that there are many Chinese people here?! Everywhere you look there are many
Chinese people. But I got to understand that they are not all Chinese; some are Koreans,
Japanese, Singaporean, Malaysian, Indonesian, and those places. I have seen a few black
people but they are from Africa. Some are extremely tall like a paw paw tree, and have
very dark skin, that is smooth and pretty. They don t talk much either and are really
shy. There are other different kinds of people too. These have something like an air-phone
made onto their heads, and you see them everywhere especially when you re crossing the street.
One day one almost got hit by a bus, because he had this large thing like a mug over his
ears and as he crossed the street, the bus almost hit him. Any way I saw another kind
of people and im not sure who they are but the men are stooch and they walk like girls
with their fingers hanging off, and they have piercings all over their body- eye brows,
lips, nostrils all over. But these are usually nice because they will say hello by saying
day mate, how u going? The others are not that friendly, but they will look like they
re going to smile but look like they forget half way through. But I can live with them.
Any way I have to get off now, because I need to go to school early. Mama, the university
is so big (like today and tomorrow) and because I get lost so often, I leave early that by
the time I get lost and find my way again, I get there on time. Say hello to everyone
for me. Thank the church for sending me an offering and please ask pastor to pray a special
prayer that I will find a job so that I can send my tithes and offering, and by the way
mama, I haven t forgotten the rally money. Mama, i really miss you and am longing to
eat some jerk chicken and some festival and fried fish and bammy. But I am getting used
to the yum chaw and the thai and other foods over here. Anyway, I have to go now, and I
am happy to find out that I can call you for free with the computer now. Rhatid, I forgot
you don t know how to turn on the computer. Alright, I will have to post it to you; maybe
it will reach Jamaica by Christmas. I m going now you hear and remember I love you all.
How could I forget that Mama doesn t have computer? Boy, this place just has me confused.
anyway, I m going to post this letter. h47: h47: h47: gd47: h47: h47: h47: h47: h47: h47:
