Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Wednesday, April 22, 2009. You know, we just can’t seem to shake it. Chinese I mean. We’ve got a lot of stereotypes. I’ve written about it before. http:/ kumvera.blogspot.com/2007/05/robbed-blind.html. Consider this exchange that I had with Teddy, our housemate.(who lives in the chicken koop.but that is another story) the last few days. 8220; OH YAH! I want to learn”. 8220;Ya, I&#...

Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Monday, May 31, 2010. Can Black Stars Shine. 8220;Welcome to Kotoka airport”. As the pilot did his customary welcome, I looked out the window at Accra in the night time and for a moment, got a swell of emotion. I can’t believe I’m really here. I arrived to my guest house two hours ago, at 4:30 am under a cloak of darkness. During the taxi ride through the empty streets of Accr...

So, you can now buy Zambian made mobile handsets. Http:/ mtechzambia.com/news.htm. Maybe not manufacturing but assemblying. And this seems to have coincided with an increase in tarrifs on foreign made handsets. Is this a start of diversifying the local economy. Outside of copper and agriculture? I wish the development sector would implement Kaizen. As much...

Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Friday, August 14, 2009. I love toast and butter. Sometimes though, my love for things doesn't quite equal my attention span for making it happen. I avoided buying a toaster for the longest time. Too luxurious I said. I don't need one. And then we got one. and it broke within a few months. I think it was Chinese made. And it lived up to that reputation. What's happening you say?

Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Saturday, February 6, 2010. 31 ways to electrocute yourself. I’m back in Zambia, right smack in the middle of the rainy season. The rains have been good for farmers ( thumbs up). But remember that blog post I wrote about our road being paved? Check it out. That’s real time metal working and welding in water. 8216;Ah, aren’t you afraid of electrocution? Thursday, February 4, 2010.

kumvera: prisoner's dilema
http://kumvera.blogspot.com/2010/08/prisoners-dilema.html
Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Currently, the water is off in my building. It's been off since yesterday afternoon - "the pump is broken, we will need to turn it off so that it can be fixed. It will be back on on Monday". It's not that i trusted that a 36 hour pump repair job would really take place, but if that's what they say, i guess that's what I had to go with. So what should I do?

Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Monday, November 30, 2009. Under the kitchen thatch. My mom taught me to see the beauty in everything. Free 30 day refund guaranteed. This includes product marketing. For example, sometimes, when vendors want me to buy something, their strategy is just say ‘buy it! 8221; (Should I admit that sometimes this works? So when I actually see some pretty interesting marketing strategies,...

kumvera: anyone lose a dog?
http://kumvera.blogspot.com/2010/02/anyone-lose-dog.html
Kumvera: (pronounced cue –m-vera);[verb] to smell.to taste. to feel. to understand. A window into Zambia and southern Africa. Thursday, February 4, 2010. Anyone lose a dog? I’m sitting here in Johannesburg airport, looking out at rain POURING down on the tarmac and wincing at lightning bolts as they fill the sky. Just across the way are some airport guys, dressed in their dark blue and neon green vests. They're running fast while chasing a dog that is running faster. That would be unfortunate.
