Week 27 at School

Now I'm on the lookout for somebody to replace me.  Do you know of anybody with a Procurement background that is up for a challenge.  If so, direct them my way.

Anybody I haven't brainwashed, it's International March for Elephants on Friday.  If you haven't done so already please lend your support.

Week 26 at School

We are half way through our 1 year commitment and still loving it here.

Question from last weeks blog.  Why was I buying cockroaches, mice and frogs?  They were for science at Smith Campus, and I am assuming a science experiment.

Week 25 at School

Well the Safari Marathon is run and won....not by me, I thought I'd give others a chance at glory.  I did my 5km in under 30min then turned round and ran back to get the bus which was about another 1.5-2km.

Week 24 at School

This week has been frustrating, trying to deal with Tanzanians ways (or no ways) and come out smiling.  At the end of the day it is just another week.

Today I again went out to Smith Campus and although I was prepared for the outcome, it was still disappointing.  Having gone out there to watch a few of them referee, I ended up refereeing myself as they were all occupied.  The game itself was a walkover 77-17.

Week 23 at School

Week 23 at School - Sunday, 1st September 2013

The internet for our room has been down since Saturday.  We must be special as it appears to be only our area that's down.

Denise is back.

I picked her up on Monday from Kilimanjaro airport with her 40kg of luggage which was made up of essentials and requests received from others here to bring stuff back.  The baggage included items that are either cheaper in Oz or not available in Arusha.  They included Vegemite, Cadbury chocolate, Cadbury Snacks, Twisties (see note below), Pizza Shapes, BBQ Shapes, Minties, medications, a tool kit and additional clothes that we had to leave at home when we reached our weight limit on our initial trip here.
