Ok! Lately I have been catching up with a few friends. Yesterday for example I had lunch with my old Swahili teacher, he was very impressed I still remembered quite alot of Swahili. On Sunday we played cricket. It was a 50 over match and my team was bowled out for just under 100 I didnt do well at all, but neither did anyone else. We basically though we would loose quite badly as our opposition was the number one team. Surprisingly we had them at 7 for 80, with a real chance of winning, but alas we couldnt get anymore wickets.

I have spoken to a few lecturers in economics at the University of Dares salaam, I would like to meet some of them and discuss their research, its actually quite interesting some of them have degrees from really good universities.

Yesterday I went to the beach and was just walking through the shallows when I stood on some sea urchins, now these things are painful, they have large spikes that puncture your skin. Im luckily I only stood on them with one foot, I counted about 10 puncture woods in my heel, so I think it might be difficult to walk today.

Tomorrow I would go to Zanzibar for Christmas, it will be packed with tourists but I think it will be better then staying in Dar.
