It has been an action-packed few days! So much so that I really had to deliberate on the title and theme of this blog entry… I could have titled it:
Two Days in the Air to reflect the rather long journey of getting to Malawi. Thank goodness for the day room in a Heathrow airport hotel, where I managed to catch about 5 hours of sleep between two long-haul flights.
Dinner(s) with the President to describe my daily dining with our University of Regina president, Vianne Timmons, along with the chairperson of the U of R Board of Directors, Sue Barber. We’ve had many great dinners together… as well as conversations and laughs.
Safari Anyone? would be the tile chosen to make readers envious of our half-day trip to Lengwe National Park Game Reserve where we saw water buffalo, impalas, warthogs, baboons, and nyala antelopes.
Not at this Restaurant to lament the chicken & chip restaurant just two blocks from my hotel which completely collapsed today… it’s a sad story of poor building construction and inspections, resulting in several deaths and many injuries. I ate there on Saturday.
And Some Work Too! to remind readers (and myself!) that I am here to work, with today being an interesting and successful Day 1 of our Marketing, Access, Recruitment and Success Workshop.
Malawi: A Special Place to describe how it feels to be back in Malawi, seeing colleagues who I worked with during my last visit and/or as part of a study tour to Canada. I am made to feel very welcome here!
