I WISH they would give that tape to the African ladies who do braids up here because they will have you in their chairs for like 7 hours at a stretch and if you are LUCKY they have a tv, and if you are SUPER FORTUNATE they will play something on that tv in ENGLISH. Once I got stuck watching an African movie, in an African language about a woman whose husband is bewitched (literally bewitched by black magic) by another women. The other woman becomes his second wife and then kicks the first wife and her kids out. At the end of the movie the other woman gets turned into a dog (because the first wife holds the bible and goes "Jesus Jesus Jesus" no I'm not kidding, literally Jesus Jesus Jesus being the only words I understood in the movie).
It was painful. I was SERIOUSLY tempted to leave the place, EVEN THOUGH my hair was only half done. It was THAT BAD. I actually PUT MY FINGERS IN MY EARS and closed my eyes so that I wouldn't watch it by mistake. It made me want to run screaming into the night.
