I am back at work (already!!) reflecting on the past two weeks in Tanzania.
Firstly, it is amazing the difference between Arusha and Dar es Salaam! Dar was definitely the big city, where Arusha was slower and more relaxed. The close, muggy heat in Dar was not pleasant for us Brits, but I could get use to it and air conditioning made a huge difference.
I was grateful I was given the opportunity to visit Ngorongoro Crater and experience the countryside and wildlife up close. Most impressive. Hopefully, in the future I might be able to visit Olduvai Gorge, the fountain of the human race!! I would have liked to explore Dar es Salaam more, but we did not really have the time.
Culturally this trip was wonderful to experience Africa and everyone made us especially welcome. Thank you. The students were great and I hope they enjoyed my lectures. (They seemed to!!) It is great to go to countries where many of our student originate and experience their lifestyle. This helps us understand them more and will definitely influence my future teaching.
I look forward to further visits in the future.
