Geo: 30.71, -9.00487Taroudant is a lovely place. Very much like a miniature Marrakech with all the atmosphere but none of the stress. It's a great place to buy cheap and authentic gifts. I gave into a carpet here!!... read more

Africa » Morocco June 22nd 2005

Geo: 35.8179, -5.65409My flight fell through so in order to get back to Lille I had to sit on a 38hr coach journey (they said it would be 14!!), right through Spain and on into France. There were definitely a few illegal immigrants onboard!! Every hour the Muslim call to prayer was played over the radio. Very interesting for the first 5 hrs but not all that appreciated when I was trying to doze off!!... read more

Africa » Tanzania » Zanzibar June 21st 2005

As I boarded the bus early in the morning in Nairobi I prepared myself for the scheduled 12 hour journey to Tanzania. Interesting sights along the way, but nothing to keep me awake for more than 20 minutes straight! Luckily I woke up in time for the border, for what should be a simple procedure of getting my visa. Should be! When I handed over the $50 U.S., the customs officer quickly smiled and stated he didn't have any change. I pointed out that I had seen the Kenyan in front of me receive his change. Amazing how the officer then said he'd ask his colleages if they might be able to scrape together the $20 owed back to me. 20 minutes later I boarded the bus with my transit visa and $20. No way is ... read more

Africa » Zambia » Livingstone June 20th 2005

Here everyone, my last blog was picked to be on the opening homepage of this site, that is pretty cool, that means maybe more will read these entries and simply realize how blessed we all are. I have made my way to Zambia. By, far these people seem the friendliest of those I have meet. I am not saying the other countries were not friendly, just more guarded in their reactions, with good reason I might add. Here it seems that they are really friendly and want you to have a positive impression of their coun,try so you will return someday. I have to say that I thought the Sheraton is Addis was the best hotel in the world, but The Royal Livingstone Lodge is far beyond that. It sits right on the Great Zambezi River ... read more

Africa » Ghana June 20th 2005

A Caveat Before You Read Apologies for the delay in posting my latest blog entry, but getting access to affordable internet was a bit difficult once I reached South Africa. But don’t worry, reflections on my experience in Ghana have only been heightened by the experiences I’ve had in the few weeks since then. As you read this, keep in mind that these are my personal opinions and do not in any shape or form represent the views of the NGO I worked for, and that I’ve only had a few months’ time working “in the field” and have a lot more to learn; these are just my preliminary thoughts. Don’t Try to Change Africa Without Letting It First Change You I started out this whole Africa “experiment” to make sure that I wasn’t throwing tons ... read more
