Basketball Update

I miss the Bangladeshis, but have found a better crew to play with-the Juba All-Stars! The height differential no longer exists and it is a good way for me to spend some time just hanging out with locals which is always a challenge for outsiders in my opinion. The play is pretty good, but the officiating is awful! They blow on everything and you can’t ever foul out. I’ve left pretty banged up a few times…and gotten at least 10 fouls a night called on me where I didn’t even touch anyone. The teams are picked after everyone warms up together and they all play one another over the course of the evening. So far, I’ve ended up on good teams with another guy my size named David and we’ve done well. Unfortunately, I’ve not played with Mosquito, but he is so fast that he is fun to try to defend. He reminds me of the warlord in Liberia with his name-but not his mannerisms.
