It was a night flight from heathrow, flying over Benghazi, North Sudan, Darfur and Ethiopia, starting your descent into Nairobi and seeing the moonlight reflect off a tin roof and thats when it hits you. " Holy Crap this is real." We landed in Nairobi cleared cusatoms and got on the bus to Tanzania. Kenya is a beautiful country the whole 5 hours I spent there. The culture shock wasn't as big as I was expecting which is a good sign. The biggest shock came with a guy carrying an AK 47 in kenya who just jumped on the bus to welcome us to Kenya. As they say TIA- This is Africa. Clearing immigration at Tanzania was fine as well and we are now officially residents of Tanzania... get me im so posh!
Tanzania is an amazing country filled with a beautiful backdrop, and people. We met the other volunteers here who took us for a night out on the town. Canada and England you should be ashamed of yourselves, the beer here is cheap and ridiculously good and the entire night out including taxi cost about twenty dollars. I made friends with one of the local bartenders who use to live in vancouver, His name is Alli and he is also a hair dresser and we bonded over our love of drag queens, If anyone who went to apokalypstick is reading this i know your all laughing.We went out a few more times once for the anniversary of Bob Marleys Death and one night we went out dressed up as maasai's ( a tribe here) which was a good laugh.
I started teaching thisw eek which was terrifying but i like it alot the kids here are great i also work at the plaster hous a center for children who are recovering from surgery its an amazing prodject and its alot of fun.only problem is its hard to tell whose a girl and a boy... oh well TIA.
