There are 14 of us doctors here right now in this African town.  We have a large presence at the hospital.  So I will repost this entry from

Muzungo is African word for white person. Or actually non-African/foreigner because they call Asians and African Americans that too. That is what you hear everywhere you go. The children all follow you and yell MUZUNGO MUZUNGO. Adults also yell at you when you walk by, MUZUNGO.  The most frequent thing the children say is “Muzungo give me a pen”. Then sometimes you get “Muzungo give me my money”. Other times it is “Muzungo how are you” Pronounced “Howa you”. It is really cute when all the dirty littles kiddies who can barely walk probably 2-3 years old all say “howa you, howa you, howa you” and wave to us. We wave back. I don’t really get the thing with the pens. One time some white dude must have come to this town and given the kids a whole lot of pens.
