Since my last post I have had more free time on my hands for instance on Saturday I just tutored a few people so that was quite a relaxing day. . I didnt play cricket on Sunday as the team didnt have a game, but they have assured me that they will have two games next Sunday, that I can play in.


Something that is quite astonishes is happening just outside my window. A company has started to build a hotel, now building here is very different to back at home, this hotel is quite a big building and they have no electrical equipment such as cranes or saws nothing. They layed the foundations by carrying buckets of cement on their heads after it had been mixed and then dumping it in a pile so that someone else could smooth it out. They have at least 30 people working on the site just going back and forth with buckets of cement on their heads. Just today they started the second story, of which they have no scaffolding , they work through the day and night.
I started my Private lessons in Swahili yesterday but today I decided I didnt like the teacher (my old teacher was not able to tutor me privately as he was busy) since he didnt teach well, and he didnt seem to want to be there.
My new teacher would you believe it is an Australian, he used to live in Warrnambol but he resides in Dar and has been for the past 30 years, so his Swahili is at the local standard if not better. His actual job here is to teach Swahili and apparently he is quite good. I have spoken to him quite a few times as he often comes to the bar here.
The next week I think I will just relax and go to the beach and catch up on my reading.
