My new name
So when I got to Qba Cacao, they voted on what my new name should be. This was a very democratic process with multiple people walking to the front of the room and explaining why my name should or shouldn´t be this. One finalist was Tili which I kinda liked. Ultimately my name was voted to be:
Unima Kwaribo
And Bolo, if you are reading this, that makes us brothers. But the debate didn´t stop there. Next, they needed to give me a name for when I´m drinking beer. This was a little unnerving because a lot of people are evangelical and don´t drink. So I´m expecting a name that translates into: ´you´re going straight to hell,´ or ¨you rich gringo...buying beer when we are starving.¨ My name while I¨m drinking beer is Chimi Mitigan. I´m not sure what it means and honestly, I don´t plan on drinking beer in my site. Partially because by the time I would get it there, it would be extremely warm...ha ha.

My name in Quebrada Cacao was Merchi...and my fighting name was Merchi Mitigoma. Nothing makes you feel cooler than getting an indigenous name...
