Abuna Yoseph | Zango Just Because

Just another WordPress.com site. February 4, 2012. The road was spectacular in parts. There is quite a steep ascent when leaving Lake Tana, which gives way to surprisingly flat, dry farmland. Occasionally, the road dips down huge gorges and climbs back up the other side. Lalibela is a tourist town, but it turns out that most people get there by flying. Huh. Twas the very next morning that I met A) Fantaw, the assigned guide that Tesfa had organised to take me up the mountain, and B) the two Canadians (on...

To the City! | Zango Just Because
https://zangojustbecause.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/to-the-city
Just another WordPress.com site. May 8, 2012. Is what ‘Istanbul’ means. And to the city they went. In 1453 to be precise. I am of course talking about the Turks, and this is of course, the reason it isn’t called Constantinople any more. Just thought I needed to say that, and sorry about putting that ‘They Might be Giants’ tune into your head. Sleeping cats form the bulk of the city’s population and as far as I’m aware this has always been so. There’s nowhere in the city that a cat hasn’t slept. If you...

Dharamsala to Dar es Salaam | Zango Just Because
https://zangojustbecause.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/dharamsala-to-dar-es-salaam
Just another WordPress.com site. The Lake of Stars. Dharamsala to Dar es Salaam. September 9, 2011. I chose this as an attractive name for the post, because it is. But really it’s mainly about Livingstonia. The second time I went there was in a car accompanyed by the sweet sounds of Bob Marley. Which was nice. The stained glass window (from the inside). It depicts David Livingstone meeting the locals, and does a very good approximation of the view from Livingstonia. Relics like these stained glas...Being...

Just another WordPress.com site. Monthly Archives: August 2011. Malawi, Mulanje, and Zomba. Finally, Malawi. It has taken. To understand this fully, you’re going to have to jump ahead to the South Luangwa post of a number of months ago. South Luangwa is in the east of Zambia. So it is from there that I travelled to Malawi. Still, the roads were good. In any case, Lilongwe. The market itself was huge and bustling. Big Indian and Chinese populations lend a very multicultural vibe to Lilongwe, though al...

Addis Ababa to Lake Tana | Zango Just Because
https://zangojustbecause.wordpress.com/2011/10/29/addis-ababa-to-lake-tana
Just another WordPress.com site. Addis Ababa to Lake Tana. October 29, 2011. Right, a coffee and a job application, now a beer and a blog post. Soon I will reach chemical equilibrium. I left you all hanging on the edge of your seats for some weeks with the tantalising mention of my flight to Ethiopia and how it managed not to be interrupted by an Eritrean ash cloud. Well, it ended like this: I got to Ethiopia. It really was uninterrupted. Disappointingly, people don’t still wear those safari hats. The ci...

I am of course talking about the Turks, and this is of course, the reason it isn’t called Constantinople any more. Just thought I needed to say that, and sorry about putting that ‘They Might be Giants’ tune into your head. None of this really matters though as for the most part, Istanbul is run by, and for, cats. And the administration of the city is mostly set up to facilitate sleeping. If you...

Just another WordPress.com site. The ‘welcome back’ post. I admit, it’s been some time since last I blogged. But that does not deter me, gentle readers, from still providing you with a full and true account of my journey through Africa. Well, I would retort…… …. umm. The truth is I don’t really know, just thought I’d check it out. London seems quite refreshingly well organised (compared to Africa), and so far I’ve enjoyed it. The pubs are nice, lots of free things to do, and squirrels are cute ...You may...
