can I call you back? I'm in the toilet...

Am I the only person this would ever occur to? As a matter of fact, my phone does not come to the washroom with me, even in my pocket... the last time i had to take it in with me, it ended up slipping out of my pocket straight into the toilet bowl... so, i don't even go there anymore... others however, have an altogether different etiquette...

For about the fifth time since I've been using this shared staff washroom, there was a woman in there, on the toilet for an extended period of time, using her phone... in the stall, while seated on the toilet... i can't be sure if I keep encountering the same woman or not as the "offender" most often rushes out without even stopping to wash her hands -- as i only go in there to do my business, wash and get out! One woman told the caller on the other end that she was in a meeting! another said she'd pick up a loaf of bread from the bakery on the way home...

One of the many reasons I hate shared washrooms...

Tanzanian Automotive Buy & Sell Magazine

To my fellow Tanzanians,

There's a great new LOCAL medium for buying and selling new or used automotives in Tanzania:

www.autotrader.co.tz

Trader Magazine & autotrader.co.tz -- THE place to buy & sell automotives.

almost 2 years later

Well, it's been almost two years since I started this thing and equally as long as I never bothered to write in it; however, there are several reasons for that:

1. unavailability of electricity for over a year
   
2. again, no electricity (...no computer, no internet, no LIFE!!)
3. i traveled a lot in my first year here
   
4. it was my first encounter with a blog (yes, can You believe it?)
   
5. i forgot i had ever even started such a thing...
   
6. i couldn't locate the blog address or access account once I finally remembered it existed
7. i started up a new business this past year (in publishing i might add! har har)

Anyhoo, this is about all I can manage for now... back to the grind ... do plan to spice it up soon though, i figure this is a good start atleast?

New Life.

good bye TO, hello DAR!
