April is the anniversary month of the Genocide here in Rwanda. The plane crash that started it all was on April 6, and within hours thousands of people had been killed. The first couple months saw an unprecendented death toll.
15 years later, April is the month of rememberance and mourning. Everything has been cancelled. Band rehearsal is on indefinite hiatus, salsa classes don't meet for the next few weeks, night clubs are shutting down, taxis are rare, and hardly anyone even walks the streets. There's pretty much nothing going on.
Tuesday next week will be April 6th. It's a national "holiday" so no one's supposed to come to work. On top of that, Hannah's leaving for a week to India, and Erik's peacing out to Zanzibar. Whaaa! I'm going to be all alone for almost a week... with NOTHING to do - quite literally. Well, I guess I'll get a lot work done.
