Last week I was saying how cheap it was for telecommunications here in Tanzania, well they do have a similarity to 1st world, charge the same, but reduce what you get without notification. When I renewed my monthly phone subscription the price was the same, but the useage limits had been reduced.
300 mins went to 200 mins
700 SMS went to 500 SMS
1GB went to 500MB (this will be the tough one)
Last night we had Scozzie Night. A combination of Burns Night (25th Jan)
and Australia Day (26th Jan).
Burns Night
(Supper) is a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns,
author of many Scots poems.
For those who don't know or can't remember, Australia Day is the official national day of
Australia, marking the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British
Ships at Sydney Cove and raising the flag of Great Britain by Governor Arthur
Phillip.
Scozzie Night was started by an ex-volunteer, a true Scot, who thought it best to combine these
two celebrations for many reasons, but mainly due to everyone being quite
‘tired’ on Australia Day after a big Burns Night. So, Scozzie Night was born!!!
It was a great night with poetry, fun, singing and dancing, for those who wanted to dance.
During the evening I met up with somebody who runs the Ruben centre in Nairobi. It sounds like a fantastic place and somewhere I would like to visit before leaving, if time permits. More details can be found at http://www.rubencentre.org/
My Kili hangover/cold is lasting longer than I expected.
Handover documents are coming together nicely, just waiting for somebody to give them to. Could be a long wait....
Until next time.
