We stayed for 5 days and while we were there we had a couple of Spanish lessons as not that many people speak English. Our lessons were held in a cafe which was authentically Spanish! We are getting th... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=486672&go=cribbens Sun, 11 May 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=482539&go=cribbens Had a very busy week in Cape Town and have managed to do and see everything we wanted to!We went on a few tours- the township was first and brilliant. We got to see how the majority of people in Cape Town really live and it was a real eye opener. We got to learn loads about the apartied and history of Cape Town so it was really interesting. We also had the opportunity to meet some of the people wh... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=482539&go=cribbens Sun, 4 May 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=480086&go=cribbens As you can see I have finally managed to put a few photos on here but they have all come up on the South Africa entry. Not sure why and dont know how to change it but they are of my time in Yamba. Ive only put a few on but dont worry there will be plenty more to bore you with once Im back!Kelly xxx... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=480086&go=cribbens Sat, 3 May 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=480077&go=cribbens Have had a fantastic time in South Africa so far!We have spent the past 18 days travelling from Jo'burg down to Cape Town with a tour company called Drifters. Initially there were only 5 of us in our group- Me, Ali, a swiss girl and a german couple but the german couple were only with us until Durban so 5 became 3! It didnt make any difference as we all got on well and our guide was so much fun- ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=480077&go=cribbens Mon, 14 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=471395&go=cribbens Last week was my final week in Yamba :( I was really sad to leave on Friday, especially as the villagers were so kind and generous to us- we got gifts of chickens, handmade baskets and various other things which meant so much. I was shocked everytime we got given something as they all have so little to give. The school threw us a far well party and it involved the usual singing and dancing that I ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=471395&go=cribbens Tue, 8 Apr 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=467260&go=cribbens I havent written for a while as my last weekend visit to Lushoto (a small town in the mountains) had a powercut everytime I went on the internet so I gave up!So much has happened in the last month! But most recently I have spent a week in hospital with Malaria...again!!! It sounds worse than it was but to cut a long story short I kept being sick so had to go into hospital to be put on a drip as I ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=467260&go=cribbens Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=456919&go=cribbens Hello again!These fortnightly visits to the internet cafe come round so quickly!!I've had a busy couple of weeks! Teaching has been going really well but as you can imagine Kindergarten are proving to be quite naughty so I have learnt the word swahili word 'Nymaza' which means 'be quiet' and it is proving very useful! Only had one bad day in school and that was when a drunk teacher was left in cha... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=456919&go=cribbens Sat, 1 Mar 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=451128&go=cribbens Im afraid there is not too much to report since my last entry as spent all last week in bed with malaria! It was like having the flu and I had all the classisc symptoms- fever, weakness etc I cant say it was a pleasent experience but it really is inevitable as I have been so cautious the whole time I have been here but nearly every volunteer that comes here gets it so was expecting it at some poin... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=451128&go=cribbens Thu, 14 Feb 2008 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=446439&go=cribbens Just had 1/2 hour spare so thought I'd quickly add on a little bit about the people Im with...Tina is really nice and has been to Yamba before so is great at giving advice about things, especially cultural differences that we need to keep remembering, like that fact it is totally unacceptable to show your knees! I even have to wear a petticoat under my skirts when I go to school-attractive!

I have one but in case any of you can be bothered to send anything, it is only a PO box address so nothing more than letters- but no pressure- I am not expecting any of you to send anything!Its:Village AfricaPO Box 5356TangaTanzania xxx... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=446179&go=cribbens Sat, 2 Feb 2008 12:00:00 GMT
