Week 2 at the office, Moshi

In a nutshell:

Monday: weekly meeting, finished making word exercises, resetup the VIAfrica office, ate at Adventure Africa with Benny, long long night sleep…

Tuesday: Finished Rhoda and Nico’s lessons and demonstrated it to me, In the afternoon we went to a secondary school to install some CD-ROMs. The guys tried to make me believe that we had about 250 of them to install. I didn’t believe it, but…hmmm. It turned out to be just about 50 or so. We were received in a very hospitable way and got shown around. This school it was almost as a community: accept from learning these students also grow their own food, etc. All in all a great event and a fine day again. In the evening we met the “kisii” guys. Viafrica has got another office/organization in Kenia (kisii to be exact). Two of those guys (Peter and Kennedy, nice blokes) are here mainly to exchange information. We had dinner with them and a good conversation. Slept well.

Wednesday: Introduction of the kissi guys; they told us a lot about their situation and I gave them my lesson about toc’s, Good! Than: terribly news from a very good friend. It swept me of my feet and I took some time off, to come to my senses. That’s all I want to say about it here.
Luckily Benny is here and Ben and I had a good talk about it, went to the sunroof hotel (where we saw a splendid sunset on the Kilimanjaro), and a pizza to finish the day.

Thursday: Taught Rhoda and Nico a lot of advanced Excel subjects. That mainly covered the day. In the evening we had dinner together at Nkulima (African food, really nice) and afterwards I thought to go back to the hotel. Wrong!! We went to a disco. My God am I popular. Seriously, quit a bit of attention of the girls (for various reasons, money is one of them). Felt like papa dating his daughter. Not that comfortable, but good fun after all. Perhaps it was too dark to see the difference between grey and blond. Lol. Then: finally back to the hotel. Wrong again!! Flat tire!! After some discussion about what to do: the ones that had to rise early went by cab. The rest waited for a spare tire. Slept at 2.00 AM, and rose again at 7.00. So ….

Friday now: just a short morning at the office and then at 11.00: safari again. To the Masai village. I’ll tell all about it on Monday. Have a nice weekend.

See ya all, Jan.
