I don't really have much to say yet, am just enjoying chilling in Dar with Fran and her family. Her daughter Malaika is sooo cute, it's nice to have finally met her and great to have converstaions in a mad mix of italian and Swahili! My Swahili is coming back to me and am loving speaking it again, its like I never left, especially when I arrived on Friday to chaos in ...

... more than 2000, so had to walk away from it. About two minutes later he handed the book to me and I paid him 2000 Tsh. The market that we went to was a 'local market', meaning not a tourist place, but a place where the locals do their shopping. We found everything from sling shots and bow and arrows to cleaning and gardening equipment and cooking supplies. Walking back to our hotel we past a building under construction which everyone felt had cement ...

5 December - Segera Today saw us staying in Serenga for the night. Just a small random town we stayed in as our other accommodation fell through. We camped at the campsite there and spent the night playing pool with the locals who had been playing for money. Most of the crew who played were hussled out of a bit of cash but we were playing for peanuts so it was all good. Goose won his game but didnt take the money ...

... the teacher teaching English to class 4. I soon realised that he was using his old school books which had quite a lot of mistakes so I had to help him to correct it. 10/10 - I went to class 1 (a &amp; b were together as Judith wasn't there) I had to control the class because there was no teacher there as she told me that she had a meeting on the 9/09 but it seemed to last longer than I thought, so I was a bit surprised! Anyway, afterwards I went to ...

... weeks wage here, and checked in to the cheapest hostel in town, 'its fun to stay at the YMCA'. We went out to buy bus tickets, heading southbound to Mbeya, for the next morning. We had talked about staying for a few days, but the city has nothing more than a museum as sights and activities, so we decided to head down to Malawi. We walked to the supermarket for some supplies on the bus trip and saw our first ...

... stay and go along with him, then little harm results. -If the improbable situation were true and we leave, then we become atrocious, jaded monsters, leaving a poor child alone to bury his sister in a strange city. We can't do that! Anyway, before this digression gets too long and turns into a brochure for con artists entitled, "The Back Alley Guide to Markov Chains," let me get back to the story. We get to the hospital and the doctor is on rounds ...

We caught the 9am bus to Dar es Salaam and arrived at about 4pm at a bus station on the outskirts of town. We bargained a taxi driver from 20,000 down to 12,000 TSh (should be about 10,000 Tsh/5 pounds) to take us into town. nearly forgot to mention that they put on an English Language DVD and it was the cheesiest chimp movies ever... and Karl laughed all the way through! I have now found his ...

Weer de dag daarop nam ik de bus naar Dar Es Salaam want ik dacht dat <br> ik het wel leuk zou vinden om daar een dag of twee rond te hangen, musea <br> te bezoeken en architectuur te bekijken, voor ik door zou gaan naar Zanzibar. <br> De busrit was gelukkig HEEL fijn (al vind ik die stampvolle Africa experience <br> ook wel wat hebben hoor), 6 uur lang in een superluxe bus met verstelbare <br> stoelen, gratis frisdrankje, niet meer mensen ...
