80022 Garden Avenue, (Formerly Holiday Inn) Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 255-22-2137575-
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...

... and they are ready for the race. The whole idea is to win at any cost and sometimes the above happens. <br><br><br>The roads here in Tanzania are many things that include a way of transporting goods and people, a farm yard, a public meeting area, a full automotive workshop. (things get fixed where they stop) a training ground for the army, a sports ground, a dance floor and of course a bar for consuming large ...

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania courters... dust, heat, people everywhere and crazy drivers. It takes us about 2 hours to get through traffic around the city to our camp on the beach. I could smell the Indian ocean half an hour from getting here and it was lovely and fresh. Palm trees very tall thin ones are everywhere and the feel is very tropical .At the camp we set up tents again and plan the next 4 days as we ...
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania kasnsqueak... found my red ink pen offensive to his culture, the door to our minibus to the border was shut with nothing more than rope, our hostel in Mbeya had no electricity when we arrived, we woke up too late to catch the nicer buses and got hassled at the bus station, our bus broke down in the bush in southern Tanzania and was repaired with twine, sacs filled with dirt, and a small tree, and the hotel we booked lacked a/c and demanded payment when we ...
dar es salaam, Tanzania bigben314... which was the only way I could think of to translate wild rice:) I'm going to attempt some wild rice soup with some fruit on the side and maybe another side veggie. Kacumbali salad migtht be delicious with it. It's a bunch of fresh tomatoes with some red onions, green peppers, and maybe some pili pili (pepper). Absolutely wonderful and incredibly refreshing~! I love cooking for people and now ...
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania aliesha1983... well so went back to the convent. 18&19/09 - I went to school did some teaching! The boy with DS wasn't there so I helped Judith who is a teacher in class 1B. The following week the whole school was on holiday so therefore I won't be teaching for a week. 20/09 - It was a relaxing morning because Lucy was leaving! It was again sad because she was absolutely hilarious. After she left, we went to the Orphan Village where all the children have no parents. Some of them ...
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania hamishroberts... I went to the shop around the corner and bought some paint for 25700shillings (£12.50). We painted one side of the wall in light blue but then it turned out that we could not do another side of the wall because we ran out of blue paint. I went back to the convent and the other girls from England had arrived, they seemed so nice. I wanted to have a shower but there wasn't any water so I had to wait for next morning! EW! 06/09 - It was the weekend but I decided ...
Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania hamishroberts... for an adventure. Pat not keen particularly when she saw you had to wade out about half a mile to climb into a leaky looking native boat. Agreed to sit on the beach where I could birdwatch with Pat with a cold beer under a sun shade. Told her if that was what she wanted then of course we would do it (I'll be storing up these brownie points for some serious South African adventures!)
