Bunia Bikers - renting a Senke and having FUN !!

Ca fait longtemps.

Time flew by as always, I am done in DRC and am back in Sweden without having completed the blog in a long time. Again trying to have a blog my patience with slow Internet ran out after about 30 posts - I made 32 posts on my Nepali blog before I gave up. Maybe maybe I will write a few more posts, but at least now I will post some more pictures.

Chez moi !

At last some photos, meant to upoad the ages ago. the photo of the dog, hippo, disappeared so he'll come later. For the rest, this is part of my family as it was until Febrary.

Wanted to write a new post, settled on just some pics from work

San Fransisco

Chicago wedding

One of my best friends in the whole wide world is Sid, I would do anything for this guy. When he invited me (about a year and a half ago, weddings are planned for ages apparently) to his wedding in Chicago there was never a doubt in my mind, I would be there no matter where in the world I would be at the time. Turns out that it would be while I was in DRC, and I just happened to be one of the longest traveling guests. Let me just say that it was all worth the travel! Not only did I get to hang out ith both SId and his beautiful wife Kari a lot, I also met old friends like Benedicte, and extended the vacation to San Fransisco to meet up with Mere (more to come). For now, here is the beautiful couple, the view from their balcony, and me and Benedicte at the reception. 

Les femmes Congolaises

Depart d'EUSEC

I've found the best way to practice French in Bunia; move in with the French. Unfortunately, less than I week after I moved in, half of them move out... EUSEC, EU Security, is moving to Kisangani, so we'll take over their house. Hopefully we'll be able to keep the water, Internet and 24h electricity, and if so this house is far better than what I ever had chez MECHEM. Even without all that it's going to be really good because I adore these guys I'm now sharing with. And apart from all the good food and wine and nice company, it will mean even more improvement of the French :) 

Hodna

Honda you say? Ok, I'll get you one! 

C'est ca Bunia 2

En svart Svensson på besök hemma i Svedala.

För ett tag sen fick jag tipset att man kan översätta hemsidor med Google. Super eftersom mamma ju hela tiden önskat att jag egentligen ska skriva på svenska. Fast då jag så hårdnackat fortsätter att leva i illussionen att jag är en ganska cool internationell människa så har jag envist fortsatt att skriva på engelska även om jag med tanke på var jag är vore mycket coolare om jag skrev på franska. Hur som helst, jag skickade tipset vidare, och föräldrarna satte det genast i verket. Det fungerar faktiskt ganska bra, men det gav också en hel del goda skratt. Bland annat så heter tydligen smed blacksmith med ett ord på engelska och jag hade gått för långt i min iver att skriva ihop på svenska (jag blir vansinnig när folk skriver isär) och isär på engelska. Vad jag skrivit, black smith, översattes helt enkelt till att jag är en svart Svensson :)

Hur som helst, jag spenderade nyligen tio mycket härliga dagar hemma i Sverige, och utan stress hann jag med en hel del. Korten får tala för sig själva, men som jag kort och gott sammanfattade den på facebook: rabarberkräm, salta bad, söta bad, kantareller, en överraskningsfest och ett bröllop. På det hela taget en lyckad sejour i Svedala. Så sprang jag ju på två Criselandare också.
