Living in Lusaka: riding in taxis
http://livinginlusaka.blogspot.com/2008/07/riding-in-taxis.html
3 months doing HIV research in Zambia. Friday, July 4, 2008. Spending so much time in taxis leads to a variety of adventures. Taxi rides start with the flagging down. Usually it is pretty easy to get a taxi, being a white girl. One day my flatmate, Nasha, and I walked out the major road to get a cab. A car on the far side of road beep (which means "do you want a taxi? After the flagging down, we go through series of negotiations:. Me: how much to emmasdale? Me: ah, no, i know the fair price. 25 pin.

Living in Lusaka: church
http://livinginlusaka.blogspot.com/2008/07/church.html
3 months doing HIV research in Zambia. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. Despite the best attempts for normality, I am treated a bit differently. For example, one lady asked me to talk to her daughter and try to get her to come to church. I was like "I don't know your daughter. Why would she care if I told her to go to church? And then I remembered I was white and that is why she was asking. But she wanted me to call the girl so I don't really know why me being white would help out there. July 2, 2008 at 6:38 PM.

Living in Lusaka: lazy sunday
http://livinginlusaka.blogspot.com/2008/07/lazy-sunday.html
3 months doing HIV research in Zambia. Thursday, July 10, 2008. The day after the trade fair we pretty much did nothing. We all woke up fairly late and made ourselves a huge breakfast - muffins, pancakes, omelets, cereal, fruit, coffee, tea, juice. It was probably one of the nicer meals I've had here in Zambia.

3 months doing HIV research in Zambia. Friday, July 4, 2008. My 4th of July. Today was America's Independence Day. Since I live and work with mostly Americans, we decided to have a BBQ (called a "braai" here in Southern Africa) to celebrate. It was kinda a crazy day:. 7am: get up and start making brownies for tonight. 7:30am: get ready for the day. 8am: breakfast (juice, toast, and left-over brownie batter). 8:15am: work on emails, etc. at home instead of going to real work. 2pm: back to the Tanzanian em...

3 months doing HIV research in Zambia. Wednesday, July 23, 2008. Taxis, Take Two. More exciting taxi stories. Last week a bunch of us went to dinner together b/c the power was out (again). When the whole lot of us showed up at the taxi stand, there was the usually frenzy of competition amongst the drivers. One of them kept repeated yelling, “Yes, Jacquee! 8221; Jacquee was out of town with work but was a bit disturbed when I told her about it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
