Today was a very surreal day. I got to hang out with my old Karate teacher, Maitre Thiam, former African Karate champion, martial art instructors for the police, and teacher for rich embassy kids. Anyways, it was incredible to see him doing well. I actually got to go to his house, met his children and we watched a Kung Fu movie!

I also got to go back to my old school, the International School of Dakar. I still hope someday to give my children the chance to experience such a truly multicultural setting. Seeing the student body reminded how incredibly diverse my education was. After ISD, It would have been really difficult had I not gone to internationally diverse schools like Knox or Thunderbird. Anyways, I’m gonna go catch a bite to eat with Mwavi a close childhood friend who I found out is teaching at ISD. Crazy.
