I swore I'd never come back to Africa. Unlike many who grew up in the colonial era and on the continent (I spend much time in Ghana where my father was in the gold mining industry) or folk who have worked here (I also worked as a younger man in Nigeria, Uganda as well as Tanzania), I never formed that visceral attachment to the place. So many years ago I left for Asia which seemed to me to have ... read more

I could be described as a flaneur - Dictionary definition: "an intellectual and physical wanderer, observer of life". I travel extensively in Asia, the Middle East and East Africa. My tales, stories and rants here are part fact/part fiction but, I hope, always stimulating and sometimes irritating. PLEASE don't take them too seriously - they are meant to inform but also to amuse and to get under your skin. I hope there's a bit of an "edge" in what I write sometimes. For those that take themselves over-seriously: it's a BLOG! Not "the Truth"... just my weird personal take on... full info

DO NOT ORDER CHEESE BURGER
I have just had one of the worst eating experiences in Dar....and I have been here for 5 years now. I went to Cafe Classico Oyster Bay Shopping Center and they brought me (after 35 minutes waiting) a raw burger with bubbling cheese all over it. they had put it in the microwave, bun tomatos and all, to melt the cheese. I sent it back and told them I don't care if cheese melts or not I don't want it put in the microwave.....15 minutes later I get a new "NUKED" cheese burger. By now I have to get out of there so I can get back to work. Extremely poor service and terrible food!
