Zanzibar Mzungu: January 2008
http://zanzibarmzungu.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Reflections of a Canadian intern living in Zanzibar. Thursday, January 31, 2008. Since it has been over four months since my last entry, I thought I should attempt to revive my blog after it apparently died. Why the neglect? How was that, you ask? You’re trip will be memorable for arguing with the accountant and not for seeing the animals. To see what Zanzibar has to offer! So it’s now January 31. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Zanzibar Mzungu: September 2007
http://zanzibarmzungu.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Reflections of a Canadian intern living in Zanzibar. Friday, September 28, 2007. Here's the first entry in what could possibly become a series entitled "what I've learned while living overseas":. A fast internet connection in an air conditioned office with pleather chairs, faux bois desks and an organogram of a large organisation taped to the wall will make any office space anywhere in the world feel like an Ottawa cubicle.".

Zanzibar Mzungu: Salama Island
http://zanzibarmzungu.blogspot.com/2007/08/salama-island.html
Reflections of a Canadian intern living in Zanzibar. Saturday, August 18, 2007. So here I am sitting at my desk with the evening calls to prayer ringing all around me - a sign that I’ve stayed at the office far too long. But that’s the price you pay when managing a blog, to go that extra mile and document your experiences and have something to look back to when my time here is long over.

Zanzibar Mzungu: The Kiti Moto Experience
http://zanzibarmzungu.blogspot.com/2007/07/kiti-moto-experience.html
Reflections of a Canadian intern living in Zanzibar. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. The Kiti Moto Experience. One of the local meals I've developed a craving for here in Zanzibar is ironically something that is not readily available on this predominantly Muslim island: kiti moto. It means "hot seat" in Swahili, and refers to a magnificent meal of grilled or roasted pork bits. While visiting friends in Dar a few weeks ago, I had the privilege to indulge in a kiti moto feast of my own. It was heavenly! Fourth, wa...

You’re trip will be memorable for arguing with the accountant and not for seeing the animals. To see what Zanzibar has to offer! So it’s now January 31. This post could not be written any.

Zanzibar Mzungu: August 2007
http://zanzibarmzungu.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Reflections of a Canadian intern living in Zanzibar. Friday, August 24, 2007. Land of Milk and Honey. Silence then falls over our conversation despite the noise of the bustling diner around us. Not wanting to eat in silence, I attempt to start a conversation by telling him I’ve come from Toronto to do an internship with the Aga Khan Foundation. He scrunches his face as if I pinched a nerve. I brace for a potentially critical response to the Foundation similar to ones I've heard in the past. But North Ame...

Zanzibar Mzungu: Smile if you're Sad
http://zanzibarmzungu.blogspot.com/2008/02/smile-if-youre-sad.html
Reflections of a Canadian intern living in Zanzibar. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. Smile if you're Sad. So I was en route to Entebbe airport in Uganda one day, flying with Air Tanzania, and we stopped in a city called Mwanza to refuel (it was featured in a horribly biased documentary, which was some how nominated for an Oscar, called “ Darwin’s Nightmare. This mzungu was shocked. How dare "they" have the audacity to act so carelessly and laissez-faire towards a potentially dangerous situation! If this happ...
