This week has been genocide memorial week, which is mainly why we went out to Lake Kivu to avoid the memorial services which have been taking place. Its quite weird as the whole country becomes subdued. There is no loud pop music only religious singing and always before in Rwanda there have been many many people around walking up and down the roads and dirt tracks. Shyogwe was like a ghost town when I got back. There was a huge meeting in the big hall where people were singing religious songs and sharing their experiences. Its all quite strange, but Rwanda is an extremely religious country. It is an interesting topic of conversation as it is almost as though people do not expect to do anything else. It is not questioned that you go to church for four hours on sunday and listen to people evangelicising. And it is the same with genocide memorial week. It is impossible to get your head round the national phsyche of a country like this.
