Ordering Chineses food in French in Africa

Our trip to the village was great it was wonderful to be out of Niamey for a while and see the culture that we will be working in when we are finished with language study.

Sarah and Jessica left for the village last Sunday and stayed out until Wednesday. While they were gone since nether of them like Chinese food Rachel and I decided we wanted to try the Chinese restaurant that is here in Niamey. It was a lot of fun using the little French we have to order Chinese food, we ordered beef and rice and nems (small eggrolls). The food was very good, but it is very strange when we sit and think about ordering Chinese food in French in Niger, West Africa.
