Stephanie Heads East: Week 1
http://stephheadseast.blogspot.com/2010/02/week-1.html
A record of my time in East Africa. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. When I went out to eat breakfast on the balcony this morning, I noticed the streets were empty and most of the shops were closed. I guess on Sundays everyone is either in church or at home! It was a heavy load for the three of us to bring back, and we paid just Tsh 15,000 (about $15) in total. The place was crowded with vendors selling all different items, and as we walked by they would yell “ Mzungu! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Au...

A record of my time in East Africa. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. New friends, tribes, and prisoners. This week has been so amazing! I have learned so much. Olivia and I have made lots of new friends, we have become much more independent within the city, and we’ve begun using and getting a handle of the language. Mohammed and Isaac escorting us to our apartment. Feeding Mama Cecilia's daughter Jamie (named after Jaimie Hemsorth! Watching me get my hair done! The swahili people are extremely polite, respectf...

Stephanie Heads East: February 2010
http://stephheadseast.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A record of my time in East Africa. Thursday, February 18, 2010. Other than a few hassles, everyday life in East Africa now feels pretty regular. We are used to people hissing, yelling, staring and even laughing at us. We hosted a party at our place on Saturday night with some friends and their families, and we discovered the roof of our building. The roof has a great view, and is good for reading on weekends. This is how the street in front of our apartment looks every time it rains. The probiotic yoghu...

Stephanie Heads East: Settling
http://stephheadseast.blogspot.com/2010/01/settling.html
A record of my time in East Africa. Saturday, January 30, 2010. Told me he expected me to be his wife. When we finally found a plug in an obscure hallway entitled “wasafino nchini” with a notice above the door saying you must be inspected before entering (I was not), it didn’t work. They ask how we are doing, they tell us again and again that we are welcome ( karibu sana). And they tell us to enjoy our time and to come back again. When we return in the afternoon we go through the same process. For the fi...
