Two Weeks At Camp...

Hello all again, two weeks atcamp have gone now, things really beginning to settle in.

My Tanzanian sim number is 0785151707, i think you will have to phone +255785151707 (that is add the +255 and drop the first 0) however, if you do need to contact me, you need to try give me a weeks notice, i know that seems funny, but it's rare i will have my phone on and be in an area with signal. If you fancy chancing it, you are best to call English time between 7 and 10 pm. Rates are expensive, but if you search on google "call tanzania cheap" or something to that extent, i hear you can call me for as little as 10 to 20 pence a minute by calling a special number and then they call me... something like that. If i find details, i will post them up, or if someone else does, message me and i will post your message.

Anyway, back to the important stuff, as usual, alwaystoo much to say, but it's been a great week. Work has got harder, making bricks, moving bricks, varnishing desks, digging VERY large holes and the old painting experience again. The wind has really picked up this week, it continuously sounds like a freight train passing through our sleeping tent, and we even got a spot of rain this week to... thats going to be interesting to see it's affects on the local houses made of mad when the rainy season properly kicks in!

I also went to a wedding yesterday... that was on of the most interesting experiences ever, certainly pushed on my comfort zones, and being a guess meant in their culture it is rude not to accept anything they give you in their home... so to put in short, i have eaten foods most reading this wouldn't even dream of let alone actually eat it. I have drunken two of the local beers... and they are easily worse that any beer i have every seen/heard or... (Byrne, i think it even puts you mixed grill drink with rum to shame!!!!) there were bits swimming around in it i swear! Thankfully i have had no serious side effects yet... will update on that one! Other than that, the whole thing was great, singing, dancing, we were treated like kings.

By the way, does anyone have any questions in particular? And i will try get a picture up here next weekend. No promises though, as connections are slow and a bit of the dodgy side. Will try update again tomorrow. Oh, and i have sent out postcards too, so expect them in about twelve years, lol, no, no idea how long they will take, hopefully about four weeks at most... we will see.
