Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring, ring ring, ring ring, ring ring…Anyone going to get that? Doesn’t the person on the other end realize no is going to pick up? Ring ring, ring ring, ring ring, ring ring…Doesn’t anyone work in this office? Come on people, I’m trying to work here! Good times Namibia.
I now have a regular visitor ever since I began putting my tuna cans out after lunch. I haven’t come up with a name yet. I think once I can get within 20 feet I’ll start thinking about it. Any ideas?
They stink sometimes, can make you cry and tend to go flat too often. Not sure what I meant by a flat onion, but I’m becoming used to flat tires. The day following the overnight at the plateau, Ed, Jeff and myself hightailed it back to where we had just been for some riding. …
I did it myself. Internet is back online. Now if I can just remember what happened in the past few days that I wanted to write about.
My online silence is not due to my lack of things to report, rather my DSL has died. Let’s hope I get this thing fixed within the next month.
A local musician has joined the ranks of those to be sorely mistaken in trusting my talents. I will now be providing him with advice on how to start a business as well as helping him design a website for his business and band. His name is West and he is part of the musical …
I’ll have officially been in Namibia for 2 months in a few days. I honestly can’t believe it’s June already. Things here are starting to get colder…related story on that point to come in a future post. Things are also starting to get drier. I’m making plenty of local ‘friends’ that I see out. I’ve …
Thanks to my shiny new DSL line, you can now call me on my Skype account. The number is (513) 277-0502. You can even leave me a message if I’m not online or available. I don’t know how well it works given that I’m in Namibia and talking on my computer, but I figured for $5 a …
Mosquitos everywhere beware…you are in my sights. What’s the over under on this you supposed for the next few months? Day one I’m at 9 and counting.
This place is strange, but weirdly awesome. Get this. Huge porch. Nice kitchen with a couple of chairs and a table. Then the bedroom is on the other side of the wall. Huge bedroom and not sure why. The wall clearly did not used to be there and is a makeshift wall as it is …
So I buy this thing for about 100 USD. I ride away and notice a significant wobble coming from the rear…the wheel is not balanced 🙁 I go back and they say I can have my money back or take it to the local garage and they’ll fix it. I keep the bike and take …
Kind of an oxymoron, don’t you think? If you’re interested, they’ll be in Ojiwarongo on June 9th.
There are clouds in Opuwo (not many though) and rumors of overnight rain…what is the world coming to?
And not sure what to do with your old PC? You could recycle it, but if it’s working well and it’s not as old as you are, then I suggest you donate it. See if you can find an organization that is willing to ship computers to developing nations, such as Computer Aid International (computeraid.org). …
Ah…the UN International Volunteer Day. Sun shining, grass growing, wind blowing, dead rats and piles of poop. The day has a great idea in place. Clean up an area of Nairobi river and plant some trees. Execution and planning and purpose not so great. No. 1 – Things get started an hour later than originally …
Meetings are often painful and pointless when an agenda is not clear and followed. That’s all I have to say about that.
If you care to send me anything, please send to the following address: P.O. Box 13488 – 00800 Nairobi, Kenya Take care when sending packages. Things of value will most likely be taken at customs. I have heard that DHL is a good service to use.
It’s been 24hrs since I arrived in Nairobi, Kenya. First impressions…this should be interesting. We are a group of 12 volunteers from all over the world and we start out with some language training at the Methodist Guest House in Nairobi. Many will leave after the week to head off to their respective positions around …
