Impressions, impressions.... lots of them

Jambo (Hello) everybody,

Update at last. Really haven't had an opportunity to do it earlier, since there was so much to do and organize. But here we are. Moshi, TZ. What happened so far..

First the flight to here: stress about being on time on schiphol airport, but my brother fortunately was able to bring me there on time by car (thx Kars). After a good flight the second problem: we weren't allowed to enter the country, because we didn't know the name of our hotel. Luckily Liesbeth (staf memeber of Viafrica) was there, so... we could give the name and then everything was ok.

We were welcomed in a very hospitable way. A very nice and cosy hotel, a nice glass of beer, nice rooms and a good introducing conversation with Liesbeth and Thomas (also Viafrica) made a good start of these 3 weeks.

The first night: no muscitonet. I thought it to be OK, since i saw no muscito's in my room, but... well, you guess... bzzzzz, stung and hardly any sleep.

Anyway, next day was a sunday, so no work to be done yet: Thomas and Liesbeth took us (Benny & me and some friends of Thomas & Liesbeth) to a spring (Maji Moto), where we could swim and relax. Very nice place, some 20 km's out of Moshi on a very humpy road. We went by car, the rest on maintainbikes.
I drove on the way back (left side of the road, steeringwheel right) through the savana(like) environment. Loved it.

Evening: dinner with 2 other guests as well: Enno & Merel, who are preparing a documentary film. Really nice people. Too bad they had to leave the next day.

I slept extremely well after that day, under a muscitonet!!

First working day: met all the other members of Viafrica. Nice people. First the weekly meeting, then some preparations for the things i plan to do with Nico & Rhoda (2 two teachers of Viafrica), studying some of their teaching materials, writing a little lesson myself, which i'm going to give to Nice & Rhoda this afternoon. Just to give them an impression of my teachingstyle.
Also visited the new storage location, and two schools. Unfortunately there are exams these days, so no ICT-lessons were praticed at that time. Still: really nice trip. Made some small video's as well, which will be uploaded soon, so you all can see. Back at the office we worked untill 18.00. In the evening Benny & I had a nice dinner (food is really good here), and a last beer at the hotel.
We both came to to conclusion, that, although we had been here just 48 hours it felt like 2 weeks. So many impressions, and all good ones. Glad to be here.

It's tuesday now: just finished my lesson for Rhoda and Nico. Updated my weblog. More coming up soon.
