Back to the Mzungu zoo

Awoke rested but still feeling crappy. Still have a fever, my body aches and feels weak. Had a light breakfast of PB & J..After a quick shower the Sofia van arrived to pick up the "crane" that nevr worked for us. We promised it to Sofia. They left & we sat for a while and trid to figure out where I could get a Malaria test. Rajabu came and picked us up so Jason could update Sofia's software for them. Tried to go to a nearby clinic, but no dice the lad tech was out for the day. So I checked my email & posted a blog on myspace about being malarial & habging out in Zanzibar.
Something I forgot to mention the night before I asked Josiah to help me find a hospital or a good doctor. He said he would. Then promptly dissapeard the following day. He left me to find my own way in his country where apparently there is a hospital that has a wing named after his father. I wont even tell you how I felt or what I think of him after this.
Anyway back to my original story. We went to another clinic a chinese one near the brake point restaurant. They had no electricity. Power outages are common in Dar. So we went to The Mission Mikocheni Hospital. A nice place, Rajabu took me in.. A couple ladies in the waiting room laughed when I mentioned Malaria. Some dark humor. So I went in a room & told this guy who I can only assume was a doctor, that I thought I had malaria. Went a few doors down and after a short wait got my finger pricked for the blood smear test. 20 min later I knew, I had Malaria. I had it in writing. So I went to the Catherine & Charles pharmacy near Sofia. They gave me some pills with no prescription thought the paper I had was a prescription. It was just my diagnosis.
Went back to the condos & got ready for dinner in a flash. On our way out the door we saw Josiah. Who asked me nothing about how I felt or if I was sick. What a pompus self absorbed prick!
We jumped in a cab and picked up Xandra the beauty from Colorado, Who works helping out at a local orphanidge. Went to slipway and had another amazing and relaxing sushi meal. I had the tuna platter. There was a ton of food, good convo & jokes. After dinner Sam, Xandra Chris and Jason got ice cream. We sat by the water. Chris Josiah right hand man, went to the bathroom. We briefly discussed keeping the hard drives with the footage on them, till we get full payment. Josiah still owed us all money. Keeping them is still an option.
Tomorrow could get ugly. Ive heard of ransoming the film before with reluctant to pay producers. Never thought I would work on something where we would have to do it..Life is crazy..
