Ah once again I went to the Dharma Lounge - only this time I didn't leave till 6 in the morning. Got there at about 2 am and raved the night away. Fortunately I'm not nearly as sick as I was yesterday! So I'll definitely be able to make the booze cruise (on a dhow) and party tonight. I am really having so much fun here - I'm not sure I'll want to leave when the time comes! The thought of having to do a GP placement in Glasgow really just does not fill me with th...

Oh what a joyous day... i'm hungover, my camera has a 'lens error', and i have to pack all my stuff together for the next 2 weeks. You see I'm leaving the hospital in pursuit of scuba diving, monkeys, dolphins, Nungwi (of course!), beaches etc. which promises to much more fun than standing on a ward round with twenty tanzanian medical students until every single person has examined every patient.

Well it's now been a week since I got here... I can't believe how fast time flys by - nor can I actually believe that I'm Zanzibar.

Also you can dance however you want and nobody cares; although some of the moves that people pull would result in a stabbing or mugging if displayed in Glasg...

Haha! Look at that picture - lovely isn't it! Just had a cafe frappe which consisted of coffee, milk, vanilla ice-cream and chocolate syrup for the delightful price of 2 pounds. Enjoying hospital so far as it requires me to put in no effort. Fridays are study days so that's me finished my first week of hospital. I have the distinct feeling that time is going to fly by whilst I'm here! Going to the music festival tonight - apparently there's an 100 year old woman...

Need to start taking some photos I think! So you can all be jealous of my new found paradise! Hospital was OK today - was in the paediatrics ward listening for heart murmurs - cool! I have been bitten 12 times on my feet - but only on my feet, no where else. Clearly the DEET and mosquito net aren't doing their job very well! Had dinner at the open market again and then went for drinks at Livingstone's; a bar which is on the beach. You can sit and drink while the...
