Rob is in Africa. The Legend of Taco Bell. So, thoughts on Uganda. Even walking on the elusive sidewalks, human traffic was a pain. You know in some cities how everyone walks with their head down and with a purposeful stride, thus causing a few minor collisions? Whenever I decided to hoof it rather than face the traffic and chump drivers, I was assaulted with a barrage of mzungu! Posted by Rob @ 7:59 AM. Life is Fonder in Uganda. Boo-hoo-hoo* So both Malara and I settled on croc. I’ve eaten alligator...

Rob is in Africa. You Gotta Help Me Out, Yea-eah. I have a couple requests for assistance today, no stories about death spiders or bad English or anything. Posted by Rob @ 4:04 AM. Meet My New Lads. Question 1: What is your name? Question 2: What are your hobbies? Question 3: Why do you like physics? I know, ridiculous question.). Question 4: Why do you dislike physics? Question 5: Any comments/questions/expectations? This was the part where their English skills really shone. I'll write a few verbatim.

Rob is in Africa. Sitting alone in my Pawpaw Tree. As I was putting on my backpack today to roll on into town, a dead bird fell out. An ominous beginning, no? Bribe takers. Sometimes a little under the table grease gets the package over the table a bit easier. The best part is, they're not pretentious about their bribes. From what I hear, anything and everything flies. If you get a big box of candy, alright we'll take a Snickers! Or a method of learning about music they particularly enjoyed? Shouts begin...

Rob is in Africa. Rain, Dancing (again), the Lake, Christmas. Otherwise, I've just been reading a bunch, and watching movies with Aaron (he brought a laptop. We also just finished season one of "Lost". I want to know what the heck is in that hatch.) We explored our campus and the area surrounding it the other day, and took some really good pictures. I'll try posting them sometime soon. I was talking to Grace (my niece who is turning 7 today! Finally, its Christmas time! Posted by Rob @ 9:53 PM. First and...

Rob is in Africa. Hodi" - the worst word ever invented. When you are traveling to see various cultures, the differences you see naturally beg for you to make comparisons. One of the most common ones that I've heard goes something like "People are so much friendlier here in (insert country name) than they are in America! How is your morning, brother? It is fine and clean. How is your day? Simply fine and clean. How is your place? My place is completely nice. It is Ihungo Secondary.". Where are you going?

Rob is in Africa. A Brief Yet Triumphant Interlude. So yesterday, while we were practicing, one of my players decides its a good time to sing, at the top of his lungs. What song does he choose? Posted by Rob @ 12:05 AM. Engineers Can Be Heroes Too. I don't want to be a harsh coach, making the spectators leave if they aren't playing. A little good-natured jabbing helps to inspire sometimes as well. So I don't want to always run these kids off, but I hope the situations won't continue to exacerbate...That'...

Rob is in Africa. Leaving, sick, spider, water, questions. And run largely on forms and paperwork. On paper, Brian might not represent himself well. However, in person he's a great guy. He was going to teach me meditation. And so they are sending him home. I suppose it was inevitable, but it still weighs on all of us. This translates "Mom I am terrified! The other day a neighbor of mine killed a black mamba. Yep. What do women wear? That's all I've got time for today. Take care and if you have a ques...

Rob is in Africa. Posted by Rob @ 5:57 PM. View my complete profile. Where I Would Be If I Was Smarter. Where I Would Be If I Was A Doctor. Where I Would Be If I Was Luckier. Where I Would Be If I Was Blonder. Hub of PCV Tanzania. The end of an odyssey. Some thoughts on leaving. Two Hundred Roads Diverged. Lets take some time to laugh.

Rob is in Africa. Here I Go Again. (on my own). Posted by Rob @ 2:32 AM. So the other day one of my students asked me the best question I've gotten in class so far- "Mr. Masanja, how many Robocops does America have? Posted by Rob @ 1:46 AM. Saved By the Bell: The African Years. Less than one. The form six leavers usually go to a teachers' training college to become qualified to teach secondary school themselves. That's that. I guess I shouldn't really blame them for throwing rocks, huh? First off, I shou...
