New discovery for the day: I stick out more late at night than any other time of the day. I literally felt like I was glowing walking down the street while on my way home much later than usual. I might as well have been with the added number of stares I had.

My time at Wentz gets better and better with every day I spend there. I was able to sit in the lab and see what goes on in there. I was shown how to stain blood samples in order to see if a patient has malaria. In addition to that, the doctors have continued encouraging me to voice my opinions and ask the patients questions whenever I am able to sit in with them. So, I've been throwing in my ideas or thoughts helping the doctors in a few cases. Taking the patient's blood pressure has also become a standard procedure for me, the reason being I sit much closer to the patients than the doctor, putting me in an optimal place to do so. Tomorrow I'm hoping to be orientated in helping give vaccinations! So we'll see how that turns out. 

I was able to try some jack fruit and chew sugar cane, my host is determined to have me try every type of food here. I am completely ok with that.
