Guten tag meine Herren und Frauen, Finally....yes, a new blog post! Relax - I'm busy saving the world don't you know?! The last few months have been a busy & very eventful time, never feels like there are enough hours in a day to squeeze in EVERYTHING I want to do. But, I am giving it my absolute best shot, and that involves lots of shots...and dancing! From where we last left off...Vienna continues to be grey, and rainy, and windswept for the most part, but over the last few months we have been treated to blasts of dazzling sunshine, warm [View Full Entry]

Greetings all from Vienna! All is well here, the weather continues to be fairly mild and skies remain permanently misty and grey in the city. I am starting to really get into the swing of Viennese life, making friends and sampling the many fun things to do socially here. There's a great community of ex-pats to hang out with and I've started to develop a good circle of girlfriends - critical for enjoyment of life! I have recently returned from a work-related mission to Tanzania. I went to attend a conference and related meetings to do with PACT's work with the [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone! If you're getting this, you are a "remnant" from our Bots blog - feel free to take yourself off, I promise my feelings won't be hurt, we all get too much email :) I have sorted myself out here in Vienna, and am really enjoying work and living in this city. Work is fantastic - my colleagues are really interesting, smart people from all over - even in our small team it's the UN. My director is originally from Iran, we have a couple Americans, an Italian, a few Russians, a lady from Japan and now me. I have [View Full Entry]

Hi All, Just putting together a proper blog entry now that Anj and I are settled back in Toronto...lots to tell regarding our visit to Cape Town, jobs, apartments, the horrible weather and me being attacked by a pack of stray raccoons while busking for pocket change in the downtown core...but I digest. Here are some more photos from a bit back during our trip around the country with Barbara and Tom Ryan. Needless to say, it was another wonderful jaunt around a wonderful country. In the previous email, I talked about the changing environment of Botswana and we had a [View Full Entry]

Hi All, Long time no write, but I am quite sure everyone has been very busy in the last few months that you even forgot about us. Happy New Year! It has been quite a year and those of you following this blog will know much more about our goings on this side of the world than we do of you. So before I get into another roaring update, I might as well pass on our new news. The Ryan-Rappaport adventure in Botswana is coming to an end. It all happened so quickly that both Anj and myself can't quite believe [View Full Entry]

Right, no apologies on taking so long to write again. Most of what's been going on has been day to day life. Just like I probably don't need to hear about your meetings, commutes and what you had for dinner, I don't expect anyone to want to know that about us, even if we are in Botswana. But over the last month or so we have accumulated some more adventures worth writing about. I believe that Anj is now at the end of her rope when it comes to driving in this place. Each day she comes home railing on about [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, it’s Anj. There’s been a delay in blogging from us, and many of you have written to politely give us a hard time about it, so here it is! I have just returned from my second trip to Nairobi, Kenya and it was really different from the last trip. This time around I got to experience the highs and the very, very lows of the city. And some of the fever created by upcoming elections - hotly contested, full of charges of corruption, and potentially going to be disrupted by armed gangs operating along predominantly ethnic/tribal lines. More about [View Full Entry]

PLEASE NOTE: MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 2 OK, before I get into it, what’s with the title? Well, in two weeks of travelling we took any and all sorts of transportation, visited 3 countries, amassed a 110,000 Kwacha bar bill and barely made it home. Modes of transport: Bus ride, back of a pickup truck, speedboat, mokoro, foot (walking and also running for our lives), taxi, combi, on a bed in the back of a converted 4x4, small airplane, massive 40 seater airplane, helicopter, another speedboat, a bus without air-conditioning or windows for 15 hours, another combi & small plane, a [View Full Entry]

Jambo everyone, it's Anj writing for a change! This blog takes you far from the quiet, dusty, sparsely populated land of Botswana to hectic, multi-coloured, traffic jammed Nairobi, Kenya! I was in Nairobi last week on a marketing trip for Godisa. Although I didn’t have much time to tour the country, staying only in Nairobi, I did get a pretty good sense of the city, even if it was only from the front seat of a taxi while crawling along in traffic between meetings. The trip was a success - I met with about 15 organizations that are dealing with deafness [View Full Entry]
