Transcription
You had like block buildings, or cement buildings and nine of us to a building, to a room and you always had dust and sand, because you’d open the windows, the sand and then you’d have the sandstorms come every once in a while and then you’d have... But yeah, everything is sand. And there’s a few other instance of times when the sandstorm come and the flying ants come, that was an interesting time. And we had to dig out our mosquito netting and everything, and hoard up for four hours. Can you imagine if there would have been a battle going? Because they take a chunk out of your back and your body about that deep and there was trillions of them ahead of the sandstorm and they’re about two inches long. So all we could do, we just got inside our beds and the netting and sit there, hear them pound against the building. They piled up. But that was the sort of accommodations.
