So we have arrived at the end of "In Country Training" and we start our placements next week. We have also had some Tigrinya language training (it's not going to be easy you should hear the word for egg ... and there is a 200-character script to learn) but given time who knows?
Life in Asmara is going to be interesting and probably very busy - in my case there are already a number of IT tasks earmarked for me on top of the training and it looks as if I may be travelling in the rest of the country some of the time.
Asmara itself continues to amaze. The combination of a great climate - still gotta be a bit careful of the sun at this altitude and latitude - and the city itself with it's landmark buildings, bustling market and mixture of old and modern styles of dress is a winning one.
We've also seen inside our house which is a little bigger than we were led to believe so if anyone wants to come and stay ... and no - the palm trees are too far apart to sling a hammock but the tiled outside area for taking the evening sun more that makes up for this.
Watch this space for photos - we're working on it!
