Well, I was up very late last night (almost all night) working on that darned computer. I tried my best to fix it but it was so infected with viruses that I had to do a complete re-installation of Windows - yuck! Anyway, half way through the power went out and I had to start all over again. After getting to bed at 5 am I slept in until noon today. I consider my effort to be my donation to the foundation so that they can do their jobs to help the kids. After...

Today I woke up very late, since I was up late last night fixing the laptop. I grabbed a quick breakfast (really just a protein bar and some leftover Thai) and headed off to SOS Medica. I met up with Dr. Philip and then he organised for me to head over to the infectious dieseases hospital for a look at the hand, foot, and mouth outbreak. I went with one of the female doctors from the clinic in the company car. Upon arrival at an old Russian built hospital m...

This morning I woke up bright and early for my interviews, yet again. I made my way to the UB deli for my free breakfast, but it took almost 50 minutes to fry up 2 eggs and toast.

I woke up before my alarm went off and dragged myself out of bed. It is a cold morning and the heat has now been turned off in the city. The city has central heating and so they come around about this time of year and shut off all heating for all the buildings ...

This morning was yet another beautiful day, albeit a little cold. I again woke up late and wandered down to the bakery owned by Brigette, the old lady. I found she had bagels there and was dying for one but ended up buying 8. I also got a great veggie sandwich for breakfast that had fresh cucumber, tomato, lettuce, and cheese. When I got back to the guest house, the doctor from the mobile street kids clinic, and a few other people from the Christina Noble ...
