Beware of Dogs

Ejit is a pretty place, except for the dogs. I spent the last couple of days there with Paul and Annie. During the day, it’s fine. But then starting at dusk it turns into a really bad neighborhood, except instead of hearing sirens and gunshots out your window, you hear growling and barking and squealing of dogfights. When you walk around at night, you have to carry a handful stones with you to throw at them if they try to attack; and you have to be on the lookout for the ones that charge at you from behind. Vicious. But the people, they’re really nice. One time I was being chased by a pair of dogs and ran by a group of 8 or so little kids, and they took up arms and began yelling and charging at the dogs to save me! I was so grateful.
