http://emilyunderafricanskies.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Travels and Travails in Africa. Thursday, July 31, 2008. I am in Tanzania and have a new phone number 076 585 1251 with a 255 prefix I think.you might not need the 0 before the 76. I am in central Arusha living with a host family and one other volunteer. Things are good and my orientation for the project is tomorrow. I will teach 2-12 year olds in an orphanage. I really would like to be in a village though so I might move after a month. It depends on how things go. More later. Tuesday, July 29, 2008.

http://emilyunderafricanskies.blogspot.com/2008/11/dont-drink-water.html
Travels and Travails in Africa. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Don't drink the water. WARNING: GRAPHIC SCATOLOGICAL CONTENT. So I wandered around a little seeking a place to hide my orange orange poo (WHY IS IT ORANGE? The moral of the story? Don't ever drink anything unless you KNOW where it comes from. Or alternatively, bring lots of toilet paper and maybe a bucket. I have considered submitting the following letter regarding my travel arrangements:. Dear Qatar Airways,. I humbly apologize for the havoc th...

Travels and Travails in Africa: OBAMA!
http://emilyunderafricanskies.blogspot.com/2008/11/obama.html
Travels and Travails in Africa. Friday, November 7, 2008. I would like to say something profound about how excited and happy I am that Obama won, but the hangover is still lurking with a vengence. So all I can really say is, THANK GOD. It was an amazing experience to watch Obama's acceptance speech with the Kenyans and look around and see that everyone American and Kenyan alike had tears in their eyes.

Travels and Travails in Africa: I HAVE A JOB!
http://emilyunderafricanskies.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-have-job.html
Travels and Travails in Africa. Monday, November 24, 2008. I HAVE A JOB! I have been back in America for exactly 7 days and on day 5 I had guaranteed employment; by days 6 and 7 I was actually making money. Who says the economy is in a slump? Well, ok.I had to lower my standards a bit. But I can take back the suit the temp agency suggested I buy and I don't have to wear professional clothes at all (or even dignity! Shnitzel - I feel that it is important to be religiously inclusive. In case you are envisi...

Travels and Travails in Africa. Monday, November 10, 2008. Coming home November 16th arriving November 17th. As I am running out of money and moving to one of the most expensive cities in the US, I am keeping my ticket and will be arriving in NYC around 4 pm November 17th if all goes well. I am back in Arusha now so the Arusha number is the one that works. Please let me know if you know of cheap temporary housing in NYC or jobs. I will need both really soon.

Travels and Travails in Africa: November 2008
http://emilyunderafricanskies.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Travels and Travails in Africa. Wednesday, November 26, 2008. These people take this shit seriously. I was given a certificate acknowledging my elfin spirit and giving me justification to maintain my elfin spirit throughout all seasons. I feel changed as a person. To this request, no is not an option. He doesn't actually have a name as far as I know. The beard is real. Being Santa IS his career. He is probably crazy. I wonder what he will do if I come in smelling like beer. Monday, November 24, 2008.

Travels and Travails in Africa: Nairobi again
http://emilyunderafricanskies.blogspot.com/2008/11/nairobi-again.html
Travels and Travails in Africa. Monday, November 3, 2008. I left Arusha on Wednesday for Nairobi and have just been hanging out here since then. The people who were interested in going to Uganda with me bailed for now but I may go after the election. Nairobi is awesome. I really like it here. My first night here I got on a bus with a guy I met at my hostel with no idea where it was going. We ended up in Issley (spelling? Hey Emily, I have a question for you. How many dogs/cats do you see there? There's n...
