http://aia42.blogspot.com/2010/08/well-there-was-masai-involved.html
Monday, 23 August 2010. Well there was a Masai involved. My entrance to Tanzania. Was rather inauspicious. After breaking my only pair of flip flops running for a coach which had turned up an hour late and forgotten to pick us up, I borrowed the only shoes available to me. Unfortunately. Is a UK size 3 and I am a size 8. Hobbling. Over the border with more foot on the ground than in my shoes we re- boarded. Our bus and sped away towards Dar es Salaam. But Zanzibar. Worth every hideous. Which, though tour...

Anna in Africa: April 2010
http://aia42.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 16 April 2010. You may ask. Honestly, there is no other way to get around. If I want to get to town, I get on the back of a bike! 8221; The answer, that I go to the doctor, take medicine and hopefully get better, is met with blank stares. What if there is no doctor or medicine or the money for either? Then who would you turn to? I honestly don’t know the answer. Monday, 5 April 2010. A Cockerel that looks like Dinner.but isn't. Damn camera lead. This was all more than made up for by the fantastic...

Caddy in Africa: March 2010
http://totalabuzit.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 27, 2010. Thanks goes to the mammy for changing my prescription the morning before I left to Uganda! I was pretty depressed, nervous and scared off it but I thought it was just normal given that I was heading on a big trip. I also couldn't sleep much or make any decisions which was extremely irritating! And I didn't really chat to people because it felt really weird talking to people! So, sorry about that! All good since I came off it and changed medication! Last weekend was technically o...

Anna in Africa: Lesson plans and the evil blood parasite of doom
http://aia42.blogspot.com/2010/06/lesson-plans-and-evil-blood-parasite-of.html
Wednesday, 9 June 2010. Lesson plans and the evil blood parasite of doom. Last week began well enough. I've begun teaching both my primary and secondary kids again and, just as in England, the beginning of term means increased attention spans and less general all round mocking. I expect this situation to decline markedly as the months progress! The lessons were going quite well with lots of interesting questions such as "if drinking is so bad why did Jesus do it? 9 June 2010 at 18:18. Really enjoying rea...

Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Indians and Crocodiles, Easter Pigs and Lovely People. March so I had to head up to Kamuli to withdraw cash for the last time. I left class promptly and headed up nervous of whether I’d get any cash out, thinking the machine might just swallow my card and then I’d be, well…fecked! Bad weather – power cut.power cut – no ATM…no ATM – no Murchison falls and no money! A taxi came, I had my cash and Murchison was back on! The kids went off and I was in a taxi with a bunch of Dutch peop...

Anna in Africa: The Orange Army vs The Kampala Bombers
http://aia42.blogspot.com/2010/07/orange-army-vs-kampala-bombers.html
Thursday, 15 July 2010. The Orange Army vs The Kampala Bombers. It had been a fantastic weekend in Kampala. After a night seeing off a couple of very good friends who were going back to Afghanistan. We were all a little delicate on Sunday. Me and the girls dressed up for the match. Iguana's was draped in orange and packed to bursting with revelers. At strategic points hung signs declaring. It an "Octopus Free Zone" and orange vuvuzelas. Iguana's before the game. Aside from the shock, and thanking the ora...

Anna in Africa: June 2010
http://aia42.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 29 June 2010. Birthday in the village. Just a short post about some fun times. Birthday and a great excuse for a village visit. Cathal's. Is the most easily accessible of all; only 45 minutes from Jinja. He also has the biggest house which is a ramshackle. Of an old police headquarters. Totally infested with bats and the occasional rat. After a day of teaching in our own villages, me Emily and Megan arrived after dark. We were met by the entire child population of Nawanyago. Me among the revelers.
