How Long Can A Stomach Ache Last

A week loneliness

I had Beate and Claudia Ifakara to the station, 7.00 clock should drive the train. Later I learn that the train had 5 hours late - it was still relatively on time, there were already 12 hours or more. Then a burst tire to be replaced, the wheel cross breaks off too, but that night I'm back in Lugala.
A very strange feeling, the only Mzungu to be far and wide. The doctor Peter Hellmold in Germany, Beate vacationing with Claudia and I am alone in the wilderness.
then see how the days? Social contacts outside of work is not and there will probably never will. So stay only: go work, bike, reading and internet. I start with the last and admit that I was until a few months is an absolute Internet ignoramus. There is a window to the world and I am grateful for this invention.

Reading is also a change, but every night alone with a book is not necessarily constructive. As bicycle ride is better, you just have to avoid the only paved road here. There are now more cars than usual (the rice harvest is in principle with the overloaded trucks made elsewhere) and now the dry season makes it one of the dust to create it. But on the outside because something is fun - the huts under palm trees, cashew nut and mango trees, the fire in front of the huts and children about children. It's like diving into another world.

yet it fails to work and there is already an unusual condition, and a bit disturbing to, share with anyone else can. Actually, there is a daily or more new problems, but if I then (as happened) a larger group would be faced by staffs and these are of the opinion denying them over 8 million shillings attendance fee - then it's a special situation. Or if the hospital fogged every day, around the Clock of burning garbage and is all plastic waste is burned with the same - this is not necessarily supportive atmosphere. In this case, I have dinner to try in the dark, using water to extinguish the fires. Of course, alone, who cares else
The Diesel settlement is deceived, that someone has stolen the diesel for the power supply is not replenished in time - and that's all you have to agree with him alone. Since it is difficult but the presence here not to call in Lugala in question.
I would not do this job alone here and if I think about it: I admire people such as missionaries, under much tougher conditions this Kreuz auf sich genommen haben. Da ziehe ich voller Ehrfurcht den Hut.

My visit to Lugala

After a long flight, I was glad to be in Dar Es Salaam and arrived safely back to ground under the feet have. At the airport when the visa issue, it proved advantageous to use crutches to be on the road - to which I was instructed, after I contracted a half weeks before leaving a two-fold torn ligament in the ankle hatte und der Afrikaaufenthalt nicht so leicht „vom Fuß“ gehen sollte, wie geplant – ich wurde nach vorn gerufen. Den Sicherheitsbereich verlassend, war die Freude groß, Mutti und Peter nach 4 Monaten wieder zu sehen. Nach ein paar Stunden bei einem Glas Brause am Meer stellten wir aber fest, dass es sich doch so anfühlt, als hätten wir uns letzte Woche erst gesehen.

Nach dem anstrengenden Flug, fand ich, hatte ich mir ein Stück Kuchen und eine Eiskugel verdient. :-)

The next day we set off for now Lugala. The road proved to be a real adventure and, admittedly, as risky. I was certainly glad when we reached our first waypoint - the Mikumi National Park.

This leads a highway and that is in the eyes of the Tanzanian truck drivers, unfortunately, literally. The animals stand next to and under the page break even in the middle of the road. Most of the drivers with their boards weak brake vehicles through the park - only interested in the fast arriving, but not the survival of the animals.

Let us turn back but the good things too - let the sight of peacefully feed the animals, which interfere on 3m distance and not willing to take pictures of us.

The following day We had the visit of the Mikumi luck. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, monkeys - all we could marvel at close range.

Many animals had boy whose charming to watch, especially when Mom brought to joyful Jauch Zern.

went after this interim stay there again on roads that are reported to us as bad roads and max. with 30km / h can be cycled. Here they just thunders with 80km / h ... and again I was glad to have arrived in the evening good - finally in Lugala.

I do not know quite what I expected. Was clear: we are really in the African bush landed.

The first thing that came to mind at the sight of the huts, was, "It seems here, as they did the Stone Age. Mud huts with thatched roof, before the fire. Chickens really run around everywhere. Occasionally there are little stone cottage. That's it. In stark contrast, is that everyone here, whether he can afford it or not, has a cell phone. There are colorful scarves and dresses, rubber boots and plastic buckets. But all live in the dirt.

When people need something, they go to - for it - great city So the next village Malinyi. There are at least a "market", a "mall" and even a bar

Every day I brought my gauntlet behind me - the road from our house to the hospital. There are only 200 meters. But these 200 meters I was screened and stared, as I would just landed from the moon. Well, whites know this already. But one with blue and red reflectors crutches - that was something new. To the views I have so far, after a week Lugala not used to. Quick had talked about everywhere that I am there. Every day new people were standing in front of the hospital and waiting for me with their curious eyes.

But otherwise you can get comfortable with the situation but as long as you do not continue to think about that one is cut wide and is in a different world.

The people here are nice, but have markedly a different mentality. With old car batteries to be heard loud radio. In the hospital the night light burning in spite bedtime. Tanks run empty, parked the vehicles easily. Charles poured in abundance of flowers. Everything is consumed, without worrying about what happens when it's time for all. Everything is there, is also consumed. The word "planning" will find no lovers and friends.

was there for lunch with us what was offered. Time someone comes over with (even) slaughtered beef, the next one brings (still living) or chicken with hat frisch gefangenen Wels im Angebot. Es gibt Reis, Kartoffeln und einige tansanische Beilagen. Obst und Gemüse gibt es auch. Darüber müssen wir uns keine Gedanken machen - die Menschen hier aufgrund ihrer Armut natürlich schon. Etwas hartes Fell muss man schon haben, um sich das jeden Tag angucken zu können.

Morgen reisen wir nun ab aus Lugala und verbringen noch ein paar Tage auf Sansibar zur Erholung. Die Fahrt von Lugala, zunächst zurück nach Dar Es Salaam, dauert länger als der Flug von Deutschland nach Tansania…

Während ich nun hier sitze and write, yet someone came to visit - for me, he wanted to meet me. After a bit surprised, because who wants to visit me here, it turned out that it is the local "Polisi. As we talked about our work, found that our two countries are different and said goodbye. Maybe there is a reunion, with all others.

disillusioned

The beautiful dream is over. Now we feel it as an advantage, far to be any reporting. There are no Newspaper, no radio, no TV (except for football and Bollywood) and so shall we, if we do not look into the Internet - on the football yesterday evening no longer remembered.
Here you live in the here and now, what was yesterday is past and what will be tomorrow, it makes you look today no thoughts. In terms of football we have seen this after the unfortunate departure of Ghana. The Tanzanian team has never played in a major tournament, and one hopes, of course, the success of other African teams. During the dramatic final phase and the penalty-Murder was the cabin in the truest sense of the word head. been caused by the off the television community very quickly, all trotted home with drooping heads, and the next day, no one has spoken of this event. And so for us today just normal everyday life again with the financial constraints of the hospital. Peter plans to Mr. Njaala changes in staff deployment in order to work time shifts and shift work finally to reduce the long hours, I will draw a slip of paper with hand-written test questions for the student nurses a proper questionnaire and then in the third year because of a ram for authentication of certificates ` s mayor's office "to go Malinyi. But this afternoon we will read for sure, what the press in Germany and once again be a bit sad about the disappointing end of the game and the dream of a world title. This team deserves it.
