I was able to go to Luanshya for the first time! It's very quaint. One of the drivers at the site described it as "the only town with the offense." It has a gate/bridge at the entrance, and it's the only way you can enter or leave Luanshya.

After 10 is off of Independence in the city of Kitwe, the second biggest city in Zambia. I've said many times to my friends at work that I would LOVE to work out of the Kitwe office. It's my favorite city in Zambia thus far. After 10 is a restaurant that serves all sorts of food from chicken wings and cakes to schwarmas and milkshakes. My favorite menu item is the KAFTA sandwich. It's lovely.

At the office one of the staff brought AMAKOLE, which is a type of gum. It takes time to get use to, I can't say that I'll have it often.

I've been walking a great deal the past couple weeks... to the grocery store, to the shops, to town etc. It's been great, because I'm really getting a feel for the roads and where everything is. I've found some awesome coffee shops, package stores and grocery stores.

Phillippa and I got a TV for the house to watch the Olympics. The ceremony was a hoot, and very English. I'm Team USA allllll the way. Jamaica, Guyana and England are always in my heart. I will be in London in exactly 4 days!!!!!! Can't wait to see my sister!!!!!!!
