The power has been off for two days now. The family I am, very kindly being hosted by, are accustomed to these money saving antics from the power *companies and the government and the only person who is phased by this interruption in service, is the eldest son who will be forced to miss his much needed fix of British football.
The Tanzanians seem to be football mad and I plan to go to a match this coming week to soak up the atmosphere and see another side of everday social life the locals enjoy. Sadly Arusha Town are not doing very well at the moment and I don't expect to see a stadium full of supporters.
Anyway can't say much more because there is no generator here and I can't charge my computer at the moment and the battery is running ou
*The power companies and the government are seen as the reasons for, what I have been told are deliberate, shut downs of the electricity grid in certain areas around Arusha.

Jambo mtoto yangu, habari yako?
ReplyDeleteArusha clearly went downhill when I left. Still, you do seem to be finding some redeeming features, obviously you're a tenacious chap, keep at it.
Hope the embes and ndisis are good. Keep eating thos avocados too, I remember them being very good out there - we used to use them as snowballs when they got over ripe. Bwana Mkubwa [sana].
