Back Home in the car trunk!

19th Feb 2008.

The cool breeze,numerous beaches,breath taking sceneries,chips mayayai and the long distances connecting towns.Oh yeah i am in Dare-salaam now!

Its been an exceptional day, I have had a wonderful time with the team.We had discussions about SolarNow,updates,changes and next steps.New exciting projects have been introduced will fill you in when implementation starts.

Very interesting have been the extra curricular activities that we did.Lunch with the team was awesome from knowing different colleagues’ tastes to the amount of food they eat.It is always evident that I eat more than the rest because of my size and also the fact that its one of the talents that makes me proud.

Then the team took it to the kitchen to prepare dinner.Me and Alex took lessons from Miep on kitchen hygiene, how to slice onions,tomatoes,egg plants and opening tuna tins.I noticed that mzungu cooking is more structured than African cooking and more spices are used.

We had dinner and headed to the slip way to get some drinks and un wind.It was a great evening.We had a range of drinks from Kilimanjaro,Serengeti to water and wine.

At midnight,being the only ones in the bar,it was time to leave.We were 7 and the car that we have is a 5 seater so I ended up in a trunk with another Canadian friend who is also in dar doing a project on bio fuel.Seating in the trunk is funny but we enjoyed.It was accompanied with an intellectual discussion on how culture affects work and what would be the state of african countries if they did not get aid from donors.
