A Thousand Hills: November 2007

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Friday, November 16, 2007. What's in a Name. I am just back from a week in the U.S. for work, happy to have seen family and friends, and to have stocked up on hard to find goods. I'd be even happier if both my bags hadn't been lost, meaning my marathon session at CVS was essentially a waste of time. But ahhhh, the luxury of choice in shopping. Combine that trip with a week in Burundi for work, and there isn't a lot of Rwanda-related news at the moment. But I've blogged abo...

A Thousand Hills: January 2008

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Saturday, January 26, 2008. Normally I don't publish photos on my blog bc our camera is broken, and even when we do have pictures from friends, the internet is maddeningly slow and the upload is enough to turn your hair gray. But, by popular demand, here are a few shots of our house (decoration still in progress, but check the local art), scenes of Kigali/Rwanda, and gorillas. Posted by Guy de Fritkot. Thursday, January 24, 2008. And finally.more friends! Two more visitors...

A Thousand Hills: October 2007

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Monday, October 29, 2007. On Friday I had to give a presentation in Gisenyi, a resort town on the Congo-Rwanda border which overlooks Lake Kivu. Lake Kivu is one of the largest interior lakes of Africa and is the highest (elevation almost 1500 m), and is nestled in between the 8 volcanos that straddle the Rwanda-DR Congo and Uganda borders - home of the gorillas. The volcano isn't stable enough to be monitored, but experts are relatively sure it will blow again, and probab...

A Thousand Hills: July 2007

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Tuesday, July 31, 2007. A sunny weekend is a good omen. This past weekend we went to a McK colleagues wedding, which was a great anthropological experience. The groom was in my start group back in September, and we've become friends and sounding boards since. The bride comes from a very politcally-connected family, so we were expecting a glimpse into the upper crust of Belgian society - not our normal milieu. The first reception is an outdoor cocktail and I think gets quit...

A Thousand Hills: I Felt the Earth Move

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-felt-earth-move.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Tuesday, February 5, 2008. I Felt the Earth Move. I was actually in Ghana when it struck, but tonight I was in the office late, when my officemate said, “That’s weird” and I said – “What’s weird? Now, I don’t have an internal Richter scale, but I’m guessing it was only a small aftershock. Can’t say I wasn’t shaken up though! Posted by Guy de Fritkot. Wow, thats what I was searching for, what a data! Present here at this blog, thanks admin of this web page. Arwen a la Monde.

A Thousand Hills: Lightning Round Part 2

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2007/12/lightning-round-part-2.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Friday, December 7, 2007. Lightning Round Part 2. My posting has dropped to all-time lows, mainly because I have been swamped at work. In a few more days it should be smooth sailing til the end of the year. However, while I've been busy, I still have found time to:. And the track was scary! But does have the most stunning views I've seen in Rwanda: a 360 degree panorama of volcanoes and lakes. Hope you are all well. Posted by Guy de Fritkot. December 8, 2007 at 9:54 PM.

A Thousand Hills: The real Africa

http://millescollines.blogspot.com/2008/02/real-africa.html

Moving from Brussels to Kigali. Thursday, February 28, 2008. What Bono doesn't say about Africa. Celebrities like to portray it as a basket case, but they ignore very real progress. By William Easterly, July 6, 2007. Let's begin with those rampaging Four Horsemen. Do they really explain Africa today? What percentage of the African population would you say dies in war every year? What share of male children, age 10 to 17, are child soldiers? In truth, Africans are and will be escaping poverty the same way...
