http://laurainzed.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 09, 2006. I recieved my staging kit and am on my way to Philadelphia and then on to Zambia at the begining of June. I am going to be Zambian from June 8th 2006 to August 8th 2008. Back in time for election madness! My address in Zambia for a few months will be:. If you send something now I'll get it when I get there. Mail takes about 6 to 8 weeks. Anton pointed out that my book list doesn't have an address to send things to, so I've gone ahead and listed the above address with Amazon. Smyth ...

Adventures Abroad: November 2006

http://laurainzed.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html

Saturday, November 18, 2006. Fish and the City. So I've spent the last fews days and too much money in Lusaka. Lusaka is America. See picture. I have had electricity. Hot water most of the time and sometimes hot and cold water at the same. The place where we were staying gave everyone bedbugs and our mosquito nets weren't treated so they became mosi traps. Next time I'm in Lusaka I am staying at an ex-pat's house. There are also a few more pictures up here. Which I am pushing for pretty hard. Posted by L...

Adventures Abroad: March 2006

http://laurainzed.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 29, 2006. It has become apparent to me that I now have an audience. Thanks for reading kids, I really appreciate it. I'll do my best to keep self righteous monologues to a minimum. I got my tax return yesterday and am getting serious about getting all my gear. So far I have some sweet camping underwear that promises I can go weeks with only one pair and chocas. These are both in thanks to Ryan, who demands that I be a better kept woman. Gifts for my host family. Tabasco, herbs and spices.

Adventures Abroad: July 2006

http://laurainzed.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 29, 2006. Today was very stressful. The service industry in Zambia has a lot of room to grow. Getting change, ordering breakfast, buying groceries, taking a bus is a long drawn out ordeal. You have to wait for everything. Second sight visit was amazing. I had to do at least 2 hours of intense biking through the bush. The family Holly and I stayed with was incredible! Chabipa we had to leave! Http:/ www.outofthedarkness.org/index.cfm? I miss everyone, but I am very happy. Links to this post.

Monday, September 18, 2006. In the Lap of Luxury. I am in the lap of luxury. I have half a kilo of gouda in my backpack, next to my dove soap. I am using satellite internet and looking at a pool from my window. It’s been month’s since I’ve looked out a window that has glass! I am sitting in a fancy fancy Bwana boarding school. They have tennis courts, a swimming pool and a rock climbing wall. So my new address is. Posted by Laura in Zed @ 11:36 AM. Links to this post. Mkushi, Central Province, Zambia.
