I've been in Tanganyika (or Tanzania as it is now known) since May25 2006. While the weather is about the same as it is from where I come from (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), the land is certainly different.
Not one of an adventure buff myself, I don't really understand the need some people seem to have with travel. Real life rarely mimics pretty pictures in postcards.
To be fair though, the country is beautiful with big green trees, bright blue sky and the purple Indian Ocean lapping peacefully at its shores.
I am currently here with my husband The Engineer, in Dar Es Salaam, the capitol of Tanzania. I've been spending the past couple of months trying to conquer an almost overwhelming feeling of homesickness.
My cat, Charley, is back home. So is my sister, mother, friends and everything else that I hold near and dear. But I suppose sometimes, you've got to get a little distance to really appreciate what you have.
