while i respect your opinion that Zambians seem rather lazy that's not always the case. Even though it's hard to accept for some, there are many who are victims of their circumstances and there are others who simply enjoy living on handouts while some simply don't know how to break the cycle of dependency .Anyway the Zambian population is young and Even though we've grown up in the hand-out era, a significant number of us will raise it up from the dust at least our country is not overpopulated phew! And the positive side to being underdeveloped is that...there's sooooo much that can be done...please visit again in a few years.
A fantastic read! A place I'd never imagine reading a blog about. And your writing style is witty, articulate and informative. (And that photo of the $20 with the pile of Somalian currency is great!) Well done. I'm going to read a few more of your blogs and subscribe to the rest of them
Yes! Hi there,
Your photos are the ONLY I could find of Somaliland. That's very interesting you hung out with their Minister of Tourism. I'm slowly planning a trip there... are there any airports at all close by?
Oh well. Love your pictures, thanks so much for traveling there!
Great detail'''' sorry to hear about Nairobi - but reputation strikes. Lived there for 4 years - Mau Mau days. But tell you all one day.
Good to hear your news and "take care"..Ant
Very good pics!! I like th boda boda guys looking idle! and the firemen! i think in the blue truck are brilliant. You actually give uganda a different view from what you usually see in the pictures. You give it a mixture of what it really is and not just one side of it's poverty and sadness, but the enjoyment, art culture, amixture of everything.
thanks

Hello Hi Chris
I'm glad you are getting on so well and you are doing a great job of sharing it all with people. Your photos are so interesting but hard to imagine though without all the sounds and smells as well.
We missed you at Christmas - looking forward to seeing you when you return. It's been very snowy here - school was even closed for a day which was nice!
take care

great blog I enjoyed reading your fantastic blog which you described perfectly the awe inspiring beauty of the SIMIEN Mountain which I have the privilege to visit it.I really like your kind words to Ethiopia in general and I am waiting your next entries.
Have a great time
The puns are wonderfully awful.
Hopefully the E police dont monitor out-going e-mails or you'ld be jailed for defamation of national character and crashing an economy dependent on the tourist trade.
Keep it coming.
Photos most atmospheric and not too cliche-ed.
hey Chris, great stuff you got here! I've enjoyed perusing your posts, you're an excellent writer and it sounds like your having some memorable times for sure, I'm jealous! I just happened across your link on facebook and checked it out. Hope all is well, safe travels!
