Yes Alfred my friend, remember that day as if it was yesterday.  All dressed up 
and ready to go to school, hair neatly braided...had some tests that day I 
remember and they came from all sides surprising an unprepared little land.. 
the army hungry for foreign goods, walking into the shops and looting goods 
like watches and perfume.  Poof! pushed down our gullets like castor oil 
whether we liked it or not...rosy pictures painted for gullible 
fools...promises never kept.
