... us like he hadn't seen a truck full of whities for years...which proved apparent when all the locals went wild. I had swarms of kids, and even adults wanting photos, aft** which their screams of delight of seeing themselves in the digital display was hilarious. When we FINALLY completed the bord** procedures (apparently one shouldn't have any corrections on their yellow fev** c**tificate) and headed down the road, all the ...

... just at the sight of them. We had people and especially children running aft** us yelling and screaming just at the sight of us. In all my travels I have nev** had an exp**ience like this and I will nev** forget it. Memorable.



The bord** crossing was anoth** exp**ience with the officials trying to find an excuse to find a discrepancy in our pap**work. Especially the yellow fev** c**tificates. As ...

... a a coisa que mantinha toda a gente tão ocupada que não pudessem receb** um compatriota em dificuldade: não havia vivalma! Vou evitar falar da competência do nosso corpo diplomático, pois diz** que é duvidosa s**ia estar a s** condescendente. Quando finalmente p**ceb**am ao que vinha e o que estava a faz**, trataram-me com muita def**ência e aquele carinho contido de fato e gravata: propus**am-se arranjar-me não dois, mas os três vistos que me faltavam até Angola evitando-me assim ...

... me to curl up on my side and listen to music... until around 9.30 when the damn thing froze and wouldn't turn back on so it inturn somehow made contact with the metal of my seat (no idea how that happened) which means both our music play**s are broken. Ahhhhh thankfully th**e's a free pow** slot so I've been able to plug in the comput** and listen to tunes but I really don't know how I am going to survive with no music... it's my ...

... and f*und that I had all the sympt*ms. Aft** n*t sleeping much that night, I decided t* g* t* the h*spital because I had the sympt*ms *f malaria, and it can be lethal. As I did n*t want t* take malaria pills as I was g*ing t* be h**e f*r such a l*ng time, I was 99 % p**cent sure it was malaria. Aft** meeting the d*ct*r, wh* was a quite attractive w*man I had t* wait *ne h*ur f*r my results. Off c*urse, I had malaria, but as a special treatment, I als* had typh*id ...

... Angel. Actor and I was th**e European time, half an hour early and the rest was African time, an hour late, so we had already eaten our fish which by the way was just as good as last time, and I traded my French fries for Actors fish so I had about a kg fish☺. Egghead had four friends with him and Angel came aft** a while so we w**e a good group. We drank and laughed and sang along with this guy with a guitar. I sang Elvis, in the ghetto, and he played some kind of melody ...

... said that the biggest sum I have earned on BJ was 3000US$ aft** starting with 600US$. So I went home and packed up my stuff. Next morning I left for my new place. I got in and started packing out. Aft** getting settled I went to Wuse market to pick up a shirt I had a tailor make for me. It turned out he was not on job, so my effort was in vain. Aft** walking around I decided to go watch the United game at a place called Ibiza. I think it was 75 % Chelsea fans and as United ...

So that was the evening I did not meet Kofi Annan, but maybe next time:) This weekend I am moving to the oth** side of town, which is much more lively so i hope to have some stories ov** the weekend. Take care ev**yone

... women down h**e are treated like **** by men. Most men are chauvinists and especially towards women on the low** steps of the carri** ladd**. As Ngozi is an int**n (not by choice as all graduates must have an int**nship aft** ended graduation), she cannot quit and she begged me not to say anything in fear of reprisals. It is v**y sad, but hopefully it passes ov**. Wednesday morning I went to the local hospital. It was not anything s ...

... money. People have been extremely kind to us so far.Most people lit**ally stop and stare at us when we pass them. Quite often people pass by and shout out 'white folk/white people/whites' etc or 'oyibo' which means 'white p**son'. This isn't done aggressively but it seems more of a surprised reaction. the British team, th**e are two Asian people and the *****ians don't seem to accept that they are also British and they are constantly asked wh**e they are from in ...
