Road to Zanzibar: Pondering Hijab
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2007/09/pondering-hijab.html
Thursday, September 13, 2007. A small cap), and a few wear a long, traditional white robe. Especially on Friday (the Muslim day of prayer). However, this seems to be largely optional, though most men wear traditional clothing to pray at the mosque (from what I've seen and heard, women simply aren't allowed into the mosques here in Zanzibar.). The dress code is much stricter for women, of course, and I'm not a fan of the double standard. For girls starting in preschool. Over a skirt. Perhaps the stran...

Road to Zanzibar: Nungwi and Real-Live Economics
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2007/07/nungwi-and-real-live-economics.html
Monday, July 23, 2007. Nungwi and Real-Live Economics. This weekend, we visited Nungwi, a town in the north of Zanzibar with stupendous beaches (development work is so trying at times). I went with Rebecca and Dave, a friend of a friend, and we had an excellent time. We took an uncomfortable and squished two-hour daladala ride there from Stone Town, which basically consisted of benches on the back of a truck (it was so much fun! Too much weed – our guest house was also run by an impostafarian, and ...

Road to Zanzibar: Beauty and Pandemonium in Agra and Delhi
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2008/04/beauty-and-pandemonium-in-agra-and.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2008. Beauty and Pandemonium in Agra and Delhi. Despite the fact that I like to consider myself a relatively seasoned traveler, I found Delhi quite stressful (though perhaps if I hadn't just come over here from eight months in Africa I would have found it less so). One major plus in Delhi was the metro system, which is very new, and rivals any of the European systems I've been in, though it's still quite small, as it's still being built.

Road to Zanzibar: Bombay
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2008/03/bombay.html
Thursday, March 27, 2008. Yesterday at 4am I landed in the biggest city in the world, which most people here still call Bombay (the less Anglicised name "Mumbai" was adopted a few years ago). My flights with Qatar Airways was pleasant, and my two hours in the airport in Doha were mostly occupied by me staring open-mouthed at the goods in the duty-free - there was just so. Glad it is 'cooler' there; you are going to freeze when you get back here! Insanely jealous of your trip. Love Mom xxoxx :-). There ar...

Road to Zanzibar: Pemba: Bumpy Roads, Octopus Curry, and Marriage Proposals
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2007/10/pemba-bumpy-roads-octopus-curry-and.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Pemba: Bumpy Roads, Octopus Curry, and Marriage Proposals. During my meal it started to rain torrentially. I waited out the downpour, and then I went for a stroll along a muddy road, chatting with fishermen and farmers, and attracting quite a bit of attention from children along the way. Thankfully, I didn’t slip and fall on the wet, clay road while gaping at the Eden-like countryside. Despite these grim warnings, I rented a bicycle on Sunday morning and headed out for the ea...

Road to Zanzibar: Race against Time
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2008/03/race-against-time.html
Monday, March 17, 2008. I had intended to start writing blog entries about the books I’ve read here, but I haven’t had nearly as much time to read as I had anticipated. However, I did finally. Read Stephen Lewis’ Race against Time. If you have not yet read Race against Time. You are pretty eloquent yourself! Lewis is one of the good guys. March 17, 2008 at 4:54 PM.

Road to Zanzibar: My First Car Chase
http://zanzibar-caitlin.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-first-car-chase.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2007. My First Car Chase. In Zanzibar there are police checkpoints along the major roads (all four of them) where daladalas are made to pull over and be checked out for "safety reasons." The driver is supposed to be wearing a seatbelt (a rule that is actually quite consistently obeyed), the daladala is not supposed to be overcrowded, and there might be a few other obscure rules. The driver floored it. We whizzed along the road, with amused passengers spot-checking for the cops...
