Serekunda.... But not for long

Get ready for a long one... (Ill make sure to put the good stuff first) wow, let me just say that my experience here is hard to put in words. I've been here since Thursday night (so four nights), a lot of adjusting. I'm staying at jori's compound with the rest of her friends from St Mary's (nice range of them... some from undergrad, others from Mary's masters of teaching program). There is also another college from PA here with a nice range of students to hang out with. The four days have inc...

One week cycle tour of 'The Gambia'

09th - 16th December 2004 Booked a £190 flight only deal two day before departure. I pick the tickets up from the airport and boarded the plane. The plan, somewhat vague, involves taking two panniers packed with a sleeping bag, roll mat, spare clothes and sundries. Hire a bike and hop on a bus all the way up country to Basse Sanua Su. Then cycle back to the coast having muchas adventure along the way. If time permitted I would even spend some time on a beach, after all it's a holiday isn't it...

Goodbye, Gambia

... verleitete: Bilder auf den Rechner gezogen, dann den Chip formatiert (also komplett geloescht). Das hat die verdaechtigen Dinger zwar eliminiert, nun kam aber ein anderes Problem auf: Als ich meine Bilder wieder zurueckladen wollte, kam nach einer Weile eine Fehlermeldung, die besagte, es koenne diese und jene Bild-Datei nicht kopiert werden, da sie beschaedigt sei. Das Dumme dabei: Sie meinte damit knapp 450 Bilder. Als ich versuchte ...

Von Hitze, Natur und den Tuecken schwarzer Farbe

... mit zwei Buechern eingedeckt: Zum einen mit "The English Patient", was ich aber nur vom Namen her kenne und gekauft habe, weil der Film ziemlich gut sein soll, und zum anderen mit Richard Adams "Watership Down", was ich zwar schon tausend Mal gelesen habe, aber noch nie im englischen Original. Aber ich haetts mir auch auf Deutsch nochmal geholt. =) Gestern folgte dann der vielleicht ereignisreichste Tag bis jetzt: Morgens gings ins Abuko Nature Reserve, einem kleinen ...

Allgemeines zu Gambia

... Trockenzeit von November bis Maerz an den Straenden liegen, in der Armutsfalle sitzen wuerden, jedoch hat das die Mentalitaet der Leute groesstenteils verdorben. Fuer jede Kleinigkeit verlangt man hier Geld - selbst dann, wenn man nur nach dem Weg fragt oder zwei Saetze mit einem geredet hat. Besonders die Tatsache, dass die meisten Besucher in europaeischen Dimensionen denken und glauben, dass man fuer eine Ladung Kebap gleich 3 Euro zahlen muss, hat hier zu der ...

Gambia Senegal tour by bike

... Kolda End: Diaoube Km: 119 After a few repairs to the bike fixing a wonky I set off in high spirits. Omelette and baguette for brunch filled a hole. This is a very popular and ever present snack washed down with a sugary Nescafe, made with evaporated milk and heaps of sugar. Not good for the teeth! The omelette is made by mixing eggs and slices of onion in a cup and pouring it in a pool of hot oil. It cooks in an instant ...

Introduction Reading for Day 2

... way of getting caffeine, provides a very telling contrast to the way Americans tend to get their own caffeine intake: a hurried, venti-coffee-on-the-go that you grab as you speed to work or school. Time passes surprisingly quickly like this, and you may not even realize what time it is until the call to prayer again begins to sound at 5pm. This is usually a good sign that it is time to wander back home, pray, and prepare for dinner, keeping an eye on the sunset, waiting for ...

... frustrating aspects is that almost all the people hanging out on the streets that you'll meet are young guys, girls seem to be working, more withdrawn, or simply not th**e. And because of a sort of tradition h**e of rich, European women coming h**e and 'seeing,' sometimes even marrying young Gambian men (and th**efore paying for them and providing them with an access to the kind of money that is oth**wise hard to come by), the attention from these men is something we try v**y ...

A New Beginning

... that I didn't let any of this get the better of me. On my last day at CPA, my colleagues held an impromptu farewell ceremony. All of them were in the office at the same time (an almost unheard off occurrence) and took it in turns to say a couple of words about me and my work there. I was very embarrassed and very touched. Like any VSO assignment, my placement at CPA has not been without its challenges, but I've met some terrific people there, and ...
