farewells

oh, how i hate farewells.
it was time to say goodbye to my housemate alice, which whom i shared in the last 10 months house, milkcoffees in the morning, the strokes on the dog (she did not like that cat at all...) german TV shows, pilates sessions, books, same taste and size of shoes, and much more and of course the friends! her became mine, and mine hers. some even thought we were sisters, and there is some little truth in it, as we looked similar and had same interest & socialisation.
its not so easy to find someone to live and even work together with (she was a young professional at DED) and not getting annoyed with each other at all .
i think it helped that i have some staff to clean up some of my chaos :)

so , i wish her all the best with Shane in Sambia

weekend wars....

okay, that is just a song title form one of my 2008 favourite bands MGMT... no wars here in Uganda, its on the contrary: i spend wonderful weekends with my bunch of friends.
And what to do on weekends in Kampala:
- long breakfast on the terrace
- avoid going into town and shopping into one of the 2 malls
- if the weather is fine, hanging out at the pool side of the "Country club" ;)
- organizing something for all friends, such as pingpong tournaments, trips to nice weekend resorts, karaoke madness, BBQ & cooking etc...
- eating out a lot

its a nice troup now, very international , as i dont like to spend only time in a german enclave, so there are teh swedish Indie-swedish, a gay autrian who might become an embassador in teh future, another gay italian and a beautiful funny italian, the fancy australian, the irish boyfriend of my housemate who is the drinking chanpion (of course!), the belgian who is son of the castle-brewery owner, and we 2 germans ;) very nice. i attach some of the pics.


that was a full boat trip to lagoon resort weekend
