Has just released some new data on how Malawians see themselves, their government, the state of the country and their political system and it’s pretty telling. As the reason that Lilongwe is so spread out? What’s telling is that 30% of Malawians believe that the coun...

I just got back from mine to discover that apparently humans aren’t the only ones who need to take a rest to keep up their job function. Owners to retrieve what is left for the salvage yard.

The contrast to the following Saturday couldn’t have been more vivid. Sundown in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. An adolescent male ...The hun...

Poet lover rebel spy. To walk in another’s shoes. September 5, 2009, 8:00 am. I recently found myself in a village on the doorstep of a community health worker with two colleagues, a Malawian and an expat. Community health worker bike. The mother opted to sit in the dark cool of the community health worker’s house.

That being said, lines at the polling stations are 4 hours long and I give much credit to those willing to wait through such lines to have their voices heard – my beloved at the top of that list.

The scene is the same though, half of us pay attention, a few participate; I think poorly of the instructor. A look of horror fills faces.

Taking the Long Way: Things that are strange here
http://gwynethsadventures.blogspot.com/2012/02/things-that-are-strange-here.html
Taking the Long Way. Misadventures in Malawi and Beyond. Friday, February 3, 2012. Things that are strange here. In many ways, I'm experiencing far more culture shock moving to Europe than I ever did moving to Africa. I often find myself saying to Jorge or Milo, when explaining why we can't do something they suggest, "This isn't Africa, OK? People are weird here." (Come to think of it, that was a frequent phrase while we were in Seattle as well. But not New Orleans. Hmmm.). Although unemployment is at an...

And then in no time at all it was Thanksgiving. Just before the holiday, a big snow hit Seattle. So there you have it - a post about snow just in time for summer to start! Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Thought I disappeared, didn't you? Well, I'm still around. So, we went to Seattle for 6 months. And to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. And some ot...I tho...

Taking the Long Way. Misadventures in Malawi and Beyond. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. You think YOUR DMV is bad? And we've had a lot of fun just hanging out and going for walks and stuff. So off to the Road Traffic Office I go.expecting the worst. Day 3 my sunny disposition was finally starting to fade. I started where I left off, the cashier's office. Only there was no cashier - she was replacing the printer ink cartridge, which apparently takes half an hour in a government building. I finally ...At that p...
