7 June 2012

Went to Food Palace today for lunch with two of the interns and grabbed some chicken wings and "chips" also known as fries.

Learned a few more words today!             I also learned that greetings are VERY important to Zambians

Muli bwanji: How are you? (Bemba)
Zikomo: Thank you (Bemba)
Iwe: You (Bemba)

My Zambia Jersey!

Ndola Stadium

I, along with ALL of Zambia, am looking forward to the football (soccer) game against Ghana in the BRAND NEW Ndola Stadium on Saturday. All of the staff in the office is taking "leave" Saturday afternoon. I'm so looking forward to experiencing Zambian football and country pride. I bought my Zambia jersey today, and got a "local" deal! When one of the interns asked why I got the deal the seller pointed to his skin :)

Victoria Falls

Intercab is a bus service that runs out of Ndola and goes to Livingston (where Victoria Falls is), Johannesburg and Lusaka. The bus to Johannesburg cost 574,000 Kwacha which is around $115 USD. The bus to Victoria Falls is 469,000 Kwacha which is around $94 USD and the bus to Lusaka runs everyday for 450,000 Kwacha which is about $90 USD (Phone #: 0968200694).

I'm looking forward to planning time to go to Zanzibar in Tanzania. It's going to be AMAZING!
