Today is my first day in Ndola, Zambia! I'll put up pictures of my new home in the next week.
Yesterday I spend the night in JoBerg, South Africa. I was "welcomed home" at least three times, and called "my sister" ten fold (which was lovely). A gentleman told me it was an honor to sit with me during dinner at the Garden Court Hotel.
My new favorite dessert is TRIFLE.
The two differences that I would like to note are the portion sizes and airline stewardesses:
My lunch between JoBerg and Ndola was 1/3 the size of my lunch between Atlanta and JoBerg. . .
The stewardesses from Atlanta to JoBerg were pleasant (don't get me wrong), but the South African Airlines stewardesses were top notch and full of positive energy (I couldn't believe it at first).
Two of the interns picked me up at the Ndola airport, and after I dropped off my suit cases at home we went for Coffee (I'll have to go back to see the name of the place). After chatting with one of the interns he solidified my desire to go to Ethiopia during one of my vacations.
The man I sat with on the plane told me "Ndola is as good as what you make of it." I appreciate his words, and will think about them while I'm here.
