Our original itinerary included an overnight to Zanzibar and then a final day in Dar Es Salaam. Unfortunately, right before we left for the trip the US had raised the threat level for these areas and the school, and parents, were all very hesitant to even let us go in the first place.
As a compromise, we had to skip Zanzibarm (which years later I'm still sad about) and were only allowed to do 1 night in Dar Es Salaam. Their thinking was that in order to stay safe we could just go in fo...
Hi folks! Just spent a few days in Dar meeting the staff of Columbia University's team. Its a large city (3 million) with cars and traffic and all. The Holiday Inn was beautiful. Food is mediocre everywhere, but the Indian cuisine is great. Wish I had a chance to walk or drive along the Indian ocean; I hear it's beautiful. Mostly spent time this week getting oriented, checking on my luggage, only 1 bag of which arrived, and generally getting grounded in African culture and lifestyle again. Tu...

... Dar, I met a Tanzanian doctor who is doing her internship in Mwanza. I invited her to come and visit the kids at Watoto Wa when she has time. She plans to be a pediatrician and seemed to be keen to meet them. I'll contact her when I get back to see if she can visit before I leave for home. I have 2 nights booked at a hotel in Stone Town, the main city in Zanzibar, and after that I'll check out the various hotels on the ...

... to make sure that the builders were doing a good job with the roof. By the way, a big thank you to all those who sponsored me as I have been able to put my some of my money towards the new art and music block - THANK YOU!. 14/10 - 2 new girls, Holly and Hayley arrived from England. I went to the water park with James and Deo! It was a good day because Deo had never been to water park as he couldn't afford to go. It was funny because Deo didn't know what ...

... just like anyone else. 2. New technologies meeting old cultures can produce some hilarious results. Like the Maasai tribesman we saw in his shuka cloth, traditional sandals made out of car tires, and halogen headlamp! 3. African roads are dangerous. I used to really like the idea that shared public spaces would have a calming effect on traffic. Some European cities are experimenting with the idea that if you blur the division between where ...

... getting realy bad. He asked me if I was Christian and if I was "saved". I said yes becasue I didn't want to be evangalized on a bus. He told me I could preach at his his church and I laughed. Christine had a friend picking her up at the bus station and offered me a ride. He knew of a hostel near the ferry terminal. We all got out. Christine checked out the room with me while her friend carried my bag upstairs. He accepted no money ...

... to return. I should have listened to everyone before I left. But I got to purchase it at Top-Top which is a market that comes to Bagamoyo every Monday. Vendors set up display booths (or rather they lay blankets on the grass for display) and sell EVERYTHING! I am still confused as to where they aquire such things, but you can find American style clothes, new and used, shoes, dishes, material, furniture, silverware, toys, school uniforms and school ...

... stoelen... en de weg
was ook verhard, dat scheelt natuurlijk ook.
Maar Dar bleek echt een rotstad te zijn! Tenminste, de indrukken die
ik ervan heb gekregen.
Net op het einde van de dag, in het laatste daglicht, ging ik even eten
halen. Vrijwel meteen werd er een poging ondernomen om mij van mijn tas
te ontdoen. 1 jongen had ik er al op zien loeren, en een ander leidde
mij van achteren af door mijn arm ...
