Today I went with a few other MAF wives to go look at some fabric shops. It's rather overwhelming here as they don't have shops like back home that display everything really nicel. Here rolls of fabric are just stacked on top of eachother. So we didn't spend a lot of time looking. We walked around and just looked at stuff, making a spectacle wherever we went just because we are white chicks. The guys like the one sitting on the bike-type thing were always calling out to us to see if we wanted a ride. The passengers sit in the front and the guy pedals at the back.

On thursday we started watching a film - which we do once a week in Unit 7. This particular film is about a young couple that is expecting their first child. They live with the husbands parents and the mom is very traditional in her beliefs as to what you should and shouldn't do while pregnant. You shouldn't buy things for the baby until you are at least 7 months pregnant. You need to wear a little knife around your neck when you go out to keep bad spirits away. If the woman has a craving, the thought is that it is actually the baby that has the craving and the dad must get or allow the wife whatever she asks for. The belief is that if the cravings aren't directly fulfilled, the baby will drool until he/she is an adult. Yikes, that's a lot of pressure on the poor husband!
