going bananas

Hej alla! I koket  i Lusaka ligger numera bananstocken, the Plantains,och jag forsoker mig pa att torka bananchips. men i vanlig ordning;-) fick nagon ta over projektet, Anita och Elsy passar ugnen medan jag fick skjuts till internetcafeet. Tur att medresenarerna ar sa flexibla som de ar, Afrikaminded helt enkelt. Battre intro-vecka har jag aldrig kunnat fa an den som varit. Har ocksa besokt Northmead Basic School, mina kollegor dar var urtrevliga och vi hade fikarast ihop. Efter det att Winnie och jag hade intervjuteknik och fragestund bland 37 harliga11-aringar som gick bananas nar jag demonstrerade hur brunbjornen tar sig fram i vara norrlandska skogar...ja efter det fick jag visning runt i skolan som hade swimmingpool. Winnie: "Unfortunately the kids learn swimming without teaching them..." Jag har borjat ta mig fram aven med taxi , Joey, i alla fall igar. Agnes kande nagon och honom ringde jag efter skolbesoket sa kom han efter 10 minuter och vamtade pa personalparkeringen. Och sa har vi besokt Lodges, tva stycken.Drack Gin och tonic, Moma! Innehaller kinin, det ar val utmarkt:-)
Vi gjorde ett besok pa Maersk kontor har i Lusaka i forrgar, mangrant gick vi dit hela gruppen och undrade var containern ar. Det visar sig att den ar helt ok clearad men star pa en lastbil tillsammans med en icke-clearad container. Darfor later den vanta pa sig och ar inte pa plats annu.

Sa nu vantar vi inte langre utan far nog 35 mil norrut i morgon, till Mpongwe!!

Det finns berg i Zambia

Oohoh, its hilly here if one goes southwards for about an hour, starting off from Lusaka. Sandy roads and driving in a jeep 4drivejeep or whatever you name it. We didnt get stuck anyway, even though we went on a bumpy road while Elsy was sitting in the back, calmly slicing apples for all of us with a very sharp knife. That lady has been around here before (but she was surprised to see it was so hilly here). There are avocadotrees, mangos, papaya - now I know how to harvest them, you do it with a longlong stick and you need technique, not power as so often;-).But watch out, you dont want a ripe papaya, size of a handball, on your head, falling speedingly from the height of three metres.
Surviving this I met my friends Winnie and Francis, last time I saw them they belonged to the adult staff for the zambian footballteam at Gothia Cup. Sports crosses borders. We met in the restaurant owned by Agnes and I had some delicious vegetable similar to spinache. Winnie and Francis, you are great!! And really good to know that we will meet soon again. Agnes drove like a Goddess when we drove her daughter and her grandchild home through the darkness. It gets dark at 6 pm already. And its easy to put the car in the ditch then but Agnes DID NOT.
Next month is going to be the hottest. Can't wait for that!!:-) And the university has an ad in the newspaper, they look for lecturers in Education. Shall i apply?
