We didn't thought of ourselves as being very accident prone,
but somehow we managed to cause damage. On the place we live in, as well as on
ourselves. On the day we arrived, when we first tried to open our backyard
doors, we broke the key. It stayed in the lock. So we first tried to get out
the piece of the key stuck in the lock and then to find a lock-smith somewhere
in the busy, dusty streets of Nyamirambo.
Then a mirror. There was only one small mirror in our room
and we kept it on the window. Of course, it fell on the floor. There is a saying
about seven years of bad luck brought by a broken mirrow... We are just not
sure does it come to the owner of the mirror or the breaker of it.
In the days after the mirror we mostly caused physical
injuries to ourselves. First Marko banged his head diving in the pool of the
Hotel des Mille Collines. His face is all scratched and has a bump on his
forehead which makes him look like a unicorn. The rest of his face looks like
he washed the steet with his cheeks. We usually tell people he fell of a
moto-taxi. It sounds less embarassing. Then Suncica burned her leg, while riding
on a moto-taxi. Or at least we thing it was while riding a moto-taxi. There was
a bubble on the place of the burn, but it burst at some point. It doesn't look nice. If there are any doctors reading this, please feel
free to contact us – we kind of suspect it has become infected and it would be
very unconvenient for our plans if we would have to amputate her leg right now.
And let us not forget the tooth Marko broke while eating some brochettes (skewered goat meat).
