Africa - Did I mention...

By the way - I think Daniel was trying to get me sick so that I could have the true Zambia Experience.

1. He told me it was OK to brush my teeth with the water as long as I rinsed my toothbrush with the hot water when I was done - I didn't do it. I used bottled water because 1. I don't agree, and 2. When the water is out everynight at bedtime it is hard to use the hot water.

2. Sausages from the street vendor in front of the market - he assured me that everything there was "safe". - I concur - We ate them. No issues to this point.

3. Zambeizis from a bucket. Yes food from a 5 gallon plastic bucket being sold on the side of the road. Zambeizis are deep fried doughballs. I agree with the rational as long as something is fully cooked the bacteria has been removed so we ate them and they were OK and so far we are OK.

4. Bani's Pizza - Open from 6am - 3am or something like that - we ate it and so far we are OK.

5. He tried to take me to the Stardust Indian Chineese Fusion place for dinner and to watch football - It was the 3rd choice in a list beginning with good and progressing to questionable - we ended up at the 5th place as no one else was open. We ate there and so far we are OK.

6. The last 2 meat pies (epenadas) from a very, very questionable place. We ate them and so far we are OK.

7. Carry out from the Hungry Lion (Fried Chicken) - frying in oil will kill bacteria. We are it and so far we are OK.
