Not too much happened today - very short visit with my new employer and I start next Monday (office hours are from 7h30 to 3h30 pm) - early start but my new alarm clock gets me up at 4h30 am (the early prayers at the Mosque).
Went to get some prepaid units for electricity since I am just about out but now not sure how I put them in ??? That took about 1 hour since the line ups are enormous and people pay 2000F CFA at a time ($5). Then went to the telephone company to get an internet connection which again took forever as every step is either with a different person or even is a different building - and nothing is simple so there are a lot of steps. The technology is also old and inefficient.
Thought I would share with you a few pictures from Ouagadougou
Hey Mimiresa,

Miss you much xx

P.S. I like your apartment, nice set-up!
Wow Michele I just read through your most recent post and now see you are really committed to faciltating change in a tough enviroment. Steph is doing well a real trooper. Is there something Terry and I could send to make your life a little more comfortable please don't be shy. One thing for sure they will soon realize they have a super commodity in you if they allow themselves to listen. You will effect change with your example more than your words. Take care, Gary
