is tomorrow a holiday?

As muzungus in Kigali, we never know when we're going to show up at work and find no one there.

There are tons of national holidays in Rwanda, but no calendar for them. Instead, a Minister of Something will decide at 8:00 PM some evening that tomorrow will be some holiday. Then they'll announce it on the radio.

In Kinyarwanda.

We heard that tomorrow may be a holiday. Monday was one. So was last Wednesday. So I'll be rolling into the Ministry of Health tomorrow morning at 8AM for a meeting, and I may be the only one there.

Who knows?
