Where I Meet Girls…

Published on by jzofficialLeave a comment

Hello friends,

So what did I do this past weekend? I purchased a train ticket and made my way down to Oxford for their 2011 InterVarsity Debate Tournament. I joined the King’s College debate society at the beginning of the term and have been enjoying British Parliamentary ever since.

The Oxford tournament is the biggest debate competition on the European circuit every year, aside from the European Championships. I got to meet some incredibly talented speakers from all around the world, including the United States.

Many of my closest friends in the UK also do debate; you definitely build a family after traveling together for so long:-)

So this is where I also meet girls…

Sincerely,

JZ

“…my host mother, Bintou,  is convinced that I am going to marry a nice Senegalese girl, or maybe 4 (because up to 4 wives is legal here) and settle down here in Dakar. She is constantly telling me that there is no reason for me to go back to the United States. Quote from my mother, ‘Baboukar, you are Senegalese now, you must find a Senegalese wife. Besides the women here are much prettier here than in the US!’  She wants me to call my American mother and tell her that I will be staying in Senegal longer.”
