No cable and no chibuku make Ed go crazy
Last time i drank chibuku I woke up on a boat headed to japan wearing a wedding dress and a map to Atlantis. I'm not sure what happened after that, i think i turned into the hulk.

Oh, EWB!
Great story, Ed! Reminds me of when I had to bribe the Ghanaian officials to let me stay in the country after an immigration worker stamped me for a month less than they should have... of course, I didn't notice or realise the importance until months later when it was too late and my permit had expired. All the "fines" came to $40 though, so not bad at all...

!!!
Hey Ed, Glad to hear things are going well! I look forward to reading more of your blog. I like the mix of humour and seriousness. I've been reading Christian's blog and he's also gotten a few "Zidane's" too. Crazy stuff! Stay well.

nice
Your post is right on point!! I am Zambian and live in the USA, and i too would never have belived that there are poor muzungu's in the world till I came and saw it for myself. The average Zambian doens't understand that a few of the issues in Zambia were caused by some muzungu's...which i don't get because how did we forget about colonization??? www.manena20.blogspot.com

You're doing so well
Ed, (uncle) Buz here, Your notes (blog) and the whole of the experience you are describing is humbling and, but for that, would evoke a strange kind of envy. Sian will probably have more to add from her email as she has been to Zambia twice with a local charity (Health Help International if you run across them). Keep up the good work - I'm sure that all your relatives are so 'proud' of you for what you are doing and doing it because it it what you have decided to do. Hope that's not too 'nerdy' Buz

Ed goes to Africa
I have been reading down through your blog and it is kind of inspiring to read the stories and learn the experience you are having. As a matter of fact you have made me feel like shit because I have done nothing in my life up to this point that will impact humanity as you are doing now. Thanks Ed. I hope that others outside your circle of friends and family read this blog and give you the support and encouragement, that will help live out your term in Zambia. The Blog is great, try to get as many pictures as you can on it, it is interesting to see as well to read about your experences. Keep up the good work, wear your Newfie colors proud and stay safe. If there is anything I can do on the home front keep me posted! Cheers Aaron

Nice to see you...
Nice to see you doing something useful Ed! ;) I love your new house...looks like it could use a spash of paint or something. Your comment about the girls running in front of you then running back to their friends giggling must be kinda like deja-vu for you huh? Seriously...you sound like you are enjoyingh the experience...I'm sure it will be life-altering for you, in so many ways. We are all very prowd of you back here on the rock. Take good care of yourself and keep the blog updated. Dave

Highly critical analysis
Hi Ed; I really appreciate your highly critical analysis of your role in Zambia. It's a tricky thing to step outside of stereotypes and live and do and help with honesty and integrity. It's one thing to be a "do gooder" and another thing altogether to actually do some good. I love this blog. You have given us a glimpse of where you are in the world and where you are in your awesome endeavor.

I'm sorry to say, but your entry made me laugh so hard. I was last in Zambia two years ago and I totally know how you felt. You brought the memories back so vividly!
