This is what my life looked like in Sudan
My old apartment house. Very quiet and beautiful, but there's a tall barbed wire fence.
It was hard for white girls to get their hair done, so the ladies would come over and I'd dress them up in a shopping bag and do their hair in my kitchen.
My friend Yusra's birthday party on my back porch
I told my friend Roberta that I was going to drop off a herd of camels in her garden. She was terrified.
My friend Khalid DJing a house party
In the evening we'd have cocktails on the lawn.
The neighborhood bowling alley
Nubian wrestling tournament
All the schoolkids wear these funny day-glo camo pajama uniforms. They look like late-90's drum-and-bass enthusiasts. I heard that Sudan had originally ordered all of this fabric on the cheap from China for its army, but the bright dye job made it unacceptable, so they repurposed it into a few million school uniforms.
Teams practicing for the Africa Cup
Nile cruise
