Did you know that Shadow Beni is a Patwa name? See? Some words of the language still exist today, and we don't even realize it. Anyway, our plan for Saturday (25 April, 2009) was to go to the market for 6:30 am; go to our school's open house from 10:00 am to noon; go to Santa Cruz to get b-roll footage and get some vox-pops if we can.
Well, we went to the market! It was nice! Got some other people who speak Patwa; a vox-pop; and some translations of items sold in the market (and the translations included shado beni haahaa).
We stayed on longer than expected at the open house, but we didn't mind. And at 5:00 pm-ish, we called it a day. And decided that on Sunday we would try to get the footage that we didn't shoot on Saturday.
On Sunday (26 April, 2009) we went to Santa Cruz to get the footage we wanted and intended to go to Paramin, but we met heavy bumper to bumper traffic that came from nowhere. We decided that we would do Paramin on another day, and instead, we got the b-roll footage we needed from around town, Woodbrook and the Botanical Gardens.
