[Photos] Memories of Dar es Salaam

It's Friday and my first week of work is over!

I'm slowly settling in my place and becoming used to much slow-paced life on the island. Although it's only been a week, I've learned a great deal about my school. I'll be sure to have a detailed blog update on it, but I'd like to put up some pictures from the 6 weeks of my stay in Dar. (With the slow internet connection, I don't know how much of them I could upload. I7ll try nonetheless.)


View from our bus on the way from the Salvation Army back to our dorm. A mini-van with yellow stripes is daladala, a public transportation. It gets over packed during rush hours. Worse than the rush hour trains in Tokyo in my opinion. I'm glad I don't have to deal with it any more because the daladalas in Zanzibar don't let any more passengers get on when the seats are filled.


Nicholas, our Kiswahili teacher.


Beatrice, another Kiswahili teacher.
Okay, this is as much as I can do for now.
I'm going to dedicate myself in cleaning and preparing my place because the place had nothing except some basic furnitures like a bed, a table, chairs and a couch when I came in. It's in a rediculously good shape though. Hopefully I can get stoves and all the cooking utencils this weekend so that I can start cooking.
