The official languages of Rwanda are Kinyarwanda, English, and French.
The currency is Rwandan francs, with the conversion rate being around 1 US Dollar to 875 Rwandan francs.
A bottle of water costs anywhere from 400-1000 francs ($0.46-$1.14).
One of my favorite meals is one I was served at a cafe. This dish was called a chapatti omelette wrap. It had eggs and vegetables wrapped in chapatti bread, an Indian bread that has become very popular in Rwandan food.
I hear the song Joromi by Simi played on the radio often. It is a Rwandan pop song that people here love.
I had the most fun hiking Mount Bisoke. It was a 3,710 meter (12,172 feet) ascent, and I was so proud of being able to finish it. I plan to take on Mount Karisimbe next, which is 4507 meters (14,787 feet), and it requires two days of hiking with one night of camping on the volcano.
