Arrival

Except for two people, who will join us later today, we all arrived and are tired but happy to be in Dar-Es-Salaam. Olivia and Sarah, two Ex-AC-students (third-years) joined our project as they are doing their gapyear at the moment. For our stay in Dar-Es-Salaam, we are living at a hostel near the city. Hostel does not describe it very well, it is rather a complex of many small buildings/houses consisting of a bedroom (with three beds) and a toilet. Today, we took an adventuous one and a half hour drive with the van into the city in order to exchange money and to have a first look around. There we also met two other Third-Years, Lea and Ivy, who are studying Swahili at the University in Dar-Es-Salaam through a programme of their own University.

The first meal we enjoyed in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania, Afrika, consisted of .... Spaghetti and Pizza! Following the advice of our Third-Years, we ordered something that we will definitely miss in the next few weeks, as during our stay at the orphanage, rice and beans will be our main dish.
