[...] 大抵の人にとって、誰かの死を目の当りにするのは精神的に衝撃的な経験だ。しかし、周囲に死があふれる環境に長い時間いると、ただの「そうい日」であり大したことではなくなってしまう。SudaneseReturneeは、長年ヨーロッパで過ごした後、20年にわたり血なまぐさい戦争があったスーダン南部のジュバに戻った時それに気がついた：長い間私は自分は若くして死ぬんだといつも思っていたのはどうしてか分からなかった。ヨーロッパ人が天気のことを話すよりももっと頻繁にジュバでは人びとが悲しい出来事や死について話しているかもしれない。 [...]

Hey dude, welcome home! That was a great post. Months after the GOSS took over, they came to Juba driving cars like they were still in the bush. We have seen guys who have never driven cares before crush brand new Toyota SUVs in trees or down the bridges, or knocking civilians off the roads. What is happening these days was a tip of what it was!

Have you heard of hte “Senke” ward in Juba Teaching Hospital? It is filled with people with broken bones! Forget the GOSS, young people are also killing themselves with these cheap chinese motor bikes like mad! Check that out.

As for what is happening between the Nile, you and Dalu is what it is: “between you and Dalu and the Nile” Uncle Sossa sounds jealous!

Yea. I mentioned my Anthro class because we were discussing how different cultures view death. And every once in a while I try to bring in “real” first person accounts of incidents (while in discussion), instead of looking at case studies by funny lookin’ europeans…

And because I’m really awesome, I kind of have this one Sudanese dude who goes to Sudan every Summer (for research)and because he’s like the Superman of funding his stuff, if I give my consent I’d totally be there…in a heartbeat…even though I barely have the basic skills needed for research…haha. Damn.

@uncle sossa, hahahahaa… I was hoping Ms Dalu would accept her father’s invitation to come to Juba, and I’d only show her around and leave the rest for me, myself, ms dalu and the Nile.

I’ll post something about our weekend out. Although I was kinda wasted, I’ll try to do my best with what I remember.

@ms dalu, Although accidents don’t happen as frequently as they used to, the rate is still relatively higher than normal. I’ll get some shorts posted in the coming days… see if you anthropology class can get you to Juba

But she (mother) also talked a lot about motor accidents. In fact, that’s all she talked about for a while…..

Also, this entry would be interesting for the cultural anthropology class that I T.A. for, I might let my Professor look at it. It’s interesting how death is viewed in different cultures…
