Done, done and done!  I picked up my Indian visa yesterday afternoon (I have until March 15th to get there and visit) and buzzed over to drop off my passport at the US Embassy right before it closed.  As it turns out, they will process extra pages in a matter of minutes, but they were just closing so I had to wait over night.  Now going from the Indian High Commission to the US Embassy is like night and day.  You can just walk up to the Indian HC and go in the office. ...

one of the worst things that can happen when you travel in developing countries is to get sick, or someone close to you get sick.... I was organizing a training programme in Tanzania some years back for people from all over asia, africa and Latin America. During these seminars you hope nothing will go wrong, so you can try to enjoy the few hours off you have a day... but what happens id someone starts to get sick, first they just feel dizzy, you give em an asprin and hope for the best. After ...

...and so to Dar es Salaam - the "sweatbox of Africa"! Pushing 34C and 95% humidity, even the effort required to relax in the shade with a cold beer brought a sweat to my brow! (It really is hard work, honest... all that "lift glass, drink from glass, put glass down" is hard work at the best of times!) We stayed just one night here, upgrading from the tent to a beach hut situated all of 10 metres from the Indian Ocean - the warmest, clearest water we have ever experienced! An evening swim on...

Tazara Express is cool and Student Identity is the coolest. With 50% discount for student, i enjoyed the train ride for 52 hours. The railway and the trains were built by Chinese dated back to the 60s. Riding on a chinese train for a non-chinese route is special.The kids at those villages we passed were craving for everything...bottle..pen...book.. and money of course. "Give me my pen" and "Give me my money" were the strangest thing i have heard from them.

Hey everyone!  Well it is around 6pm on Sunday here in Tanzania.  I'll give you an update on everything that has happened so far. Friday morning we woke up at 2:30 am and showered.  We left Plattsburgh around 3:30 to catch the ferry leaving at 4:05.  We got right on the plane and were in NYC by 7am.  We waited until around 11am to board our plane.  THIRTEEN hours later we were in Dubai!  The plane ride was enjoyable as it possibly could have been....

Tuesday morning we woke early for our 3 hour van ride out to the Rufiji district of Dar Es Salaam. Teddy, from CAMFED, was escorting us out to a secondary school where CAMFED funds a group of no income girls (tuition is government paid, but uniforms and books to go to school can be costly).  This group of girls is similar to the one that Spark recently funded through CAMFED in Mozambique, so we are excited that, despite the 3 hour ride, we will be spending the day at the school with this...
