Peice Of Heavan
Laughing out loud to myself, watching this short self-made documentary by a young Tanzanian on Dar es Salaam, called in this video Peice of Heavan :) Apart from spelling mistakes, this video (in two parts) is a genuine effort to present the city to anyone who intends to visit Tanzania and Dar es Salaam in particular... Check it out...and enjoy...

So glad you have had a safe journey back and that all your businees in Dar es Salaam went so well. You had some interesting experiences on your journey!! I enjoyed the u tube video on Dar es Salaa; seemed a 1000 miles away from the poverty of Kiabakari. I recall being in S.Africa 10 years ago and what struck me so vividly was the contrast between rich and poor, almost side by side and the fear the well off had with big walls surrounding their palatial homes. Anyhow all those fabulous jewellery shops, hotels and shopping malls etc in Dar were stuning- hope you went to one of the nice restaurants. It is good to see the prosperous side of Africa too - In Ireland when we were at primary school we used to collect for ' the black babies' big time now we have black priests serving in our parishes . Wheel comes full circle. Hope a big welcome awaits you in Kiabakari.
ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, I am not surprised by your suprise at the wealth in Africa. It is the same here, extreme wealth and extreme poverty side by side. I like Dar es Salaam, it is a good change from the village life and chance to rewind a bit. I don't fancy famous restaurants, I prefer ethnic ones, with home cooking sort of thing, like ethiopian, lebanese, genuine italian, swahili cuisine etc... Yes, the full circle is present in Poland too. We have some priests from Musoma who want to work in Poland...so I guess the time will come when an African priest will be a parish priest of Kraków's cathedral, just like I was in Musoma few years back :) I do not expect any welcomes in Kiabakari, to the contrary, I have already made some arrangements for my workers to come and start preparations for plastering walls of two classrooms in the educational center and for the main water tank. I have only three weeks to do this, so time is of essence. When i come to Kiabakari on Monday, there should be already cement, sand and other things delivered and ready for Tuesday beginning of works...hectic times ahead. Anyway, I like to be busy in Lord's vineyard :)
