... bar er jo at jeg har faaet et par Windhoek Lager. En fantastisk oel som nu SKAL vaere Lasses yndlings oel. Han faar ihvertfald ikke andet saa laenge han haenger paa mig.

Vi har vaeret igennem Pretoria by og se lidt paa de forskellige sights. Det er begyndt paa en god gang revisionistisk historie skrivning. En statue foran raadhuset fotrklarer at det var den stamme hoevding der boede i omraadet lang tid foer byen blev ...

... bathroom, double garage for storage/anyones cars!?!?
Upstairs is my massive room with ensuite (HUUUGE)and a furth** guest bathroom opposite the double bedroom,a study and spare room with 2 singles! All rooms come furnished with beds and lamps and curtains or roll** blinds! The und**floor heating keeps you warm morning and night, so having a pow**show** and stepping on the warm tiles reminds me of nice memories back home)! The garden catches the sun all day, and in ...

... the brother and sister-in-law of my aunt) were very kind and gracious. They have many acres of varying vegetables along with cows, sheep, goats, geese, ducks and chickens. A great place for Isabella with her two new friends to explore and play. When the "hunters" returned from their hunting trip with 3-4 pheasants in hand, we had a ...

Well, sitting here in the lecture room whilst the field guide students (not us common or garden volunteers!) are undertaking revision -they're currently discussing what the correct name for "animals eating faeces is" HR this isn't! Whilst I had thought hilariously that 7am starts would possibly be challenging, we've either started (physical ) work or had a bush walk at 6 or 6.30am!! for the past 4 days and that will be the case thruout the project. Our 2 pieces of work have been ...

... out, the name of the lodge was recently changed. Of course, the new name was the only one we had. Locals recognized the former name, but not the new one. Thus, when we stopped and asked people, they were clueless. Like a carosel, we went up, down, and around Lilongwe for a solid 2 hours.

... serious consideration to what I would do if he decided to hop it. I can't remember if I mentioned it in previous entries, but monkeys are a daily sight inside the complex where I work. Just now, though, was the best. One ran by my balcony and then stopped, leaned against the window, and staired at me. And right then I thought about all the times this past weekend I leaned against a wall ...

... go to the trouble of paying in money before they rob the place. Then I had a thought - may be this country has got it right. How much better service would you get in Barclays, or McDonalds or anywhere for that matter if you had a hand cannon stuffed in your belt. I may try it sometime. As you have probably guessed the guy did not shoot any one or rob the place - besides if he had how many of the other customers were packing? Probably not a good move ...

... I vacated my bedroom (I live in a commune) and got rent from Petra, the new gorgeous German tenant. I wasn't sure if I should have rented my Mini as I had three last minute requests to rent it. I decided that is would be much safer to leave it in the garage. My brother gave me some of his leftover foreign currency and then the astrology section warned me against spending it all at once - something I always did! For my iPod I got an extra power pack ...

... we toured wealthy neighborhoods to a poorer area known as Soweto (the Southwestern Township). Franzisca and I were tipped off to a camera obscura available for private viewing in MuseumAfrica where we had a 360 degree view of the area immediately surrounding the museum. Our experience of the Soweto Museum was very sobering. We learned ...
