Updates!

I am fresh and feeling good. Some updates:

After 12 hours of sleep I was ready to start my second day at GLM office. It is something around 30degrees outside. GLM office has no air condition so I did no feel so good there, actually very poor. I was ready to quit around 2pm, but survived till four and got a ride to mall. After quick visit to internet, we went with Clive and one his buddies (dont remember the name) to get couple of beers to this place called Fahrenheit. Looks just like basic pubs in Finland, nothing special. One matter, that is different, is that when you ask somebody for to have pint or two (in this case me), you are the who pays. Luckily beer is quite cheap in bars, at least the local Kaso and Mosi (around 1.3 euros a bottle) so I survived with only 20 euros or so.

At the office doing not much. Finish up with computers and starting check field reports from 2008. I have now get to know the finnish volunteer girl, who have been here from March. She is working with the GLM newspaper Green Times. It have been very nice to speak finnish again! And have somebody from same continent to share experiences and problems. She has also helped to get information for my Livingstone trip and guided me through Lusaka.
Respectfully I am leaving to town of Livingstone on 6th of December, the 91th independence day of Finland. I go there with bus and stay at Jollyboys backpackers hostel for 4 nights. Livingstone is the tourist capital of Zambia, so that is going to be so different from Lusaka, some points about Lusaka coming soon. In Livingstone I am going to visit the place everybody should once go. The Mosi-oa-Tunya, Smoke that thunders, The Victorial Falls. One of the natural wonders of the world, UNESCO world heritage sites, you name it. There is many activities to do and go, if you have money. I have tried to save some to go at least to National park, Livingstone Island and Devil´s Pool. Devil´s Pool is a pool in the egde of the falls, can you imagine that!?

Today I have spended my time by starting my field raport and also I have been checking GLM raports from past year. Tomorrow I am going with Hanna (that volunteer) to Finnish Ambassadors Indenpendece reception to her residence to celebrate Finland. This evening we go out with Clive again to see some clubs and nightlife. Tomorrow I am also doing my final preparations for Livingstone and say goodbye to GLM crew. I come back on Wednesday evening so I am not seeing them anymore before my departure to Finland! I have been here for over a week and days are going so fast. Next week at this time I am on my way to London Heathrow.
