I'm in Gaza province on site visit. I'm writing under electricity and (somewhat) running water. I've spoken more English to locals than I have in the five previous weeks combined. I even tried some French with a native speaker. I got out "Je ne me souviens pas francais" and he responded that if I remembered how to say that, then I should know how to speak. I was too ashamed to admit that the only reason I remembered that phrase was because it's on the Quebec license plate.
My Portuguese is getting better, and I was able to speak it with a bunch of people today.
However, I got up at 3:30 AM and it's now 10:30 PM. I'm going to sleep.
Peace
John
