As you see, I had no luck with Internet access … Nigeria mostly relies on Satellite internet for which people buy a card for their computer. And although we were able to borrow one of these for a few days I could NOT work out how to use this on my netbook. So, a word of advice to you all from one who has suffered … even if you loathe Microsoft and think B Gates is the Spawn of the Devil, PLEASE get Windows rather than the Linux OS if you buy an Acer Aspire. That is, unless you instinctively know what ububtu, thunar and toadsvomit mean. Well, okay, I made up the last one …
So now I’m back home with amazing memories, lots of notes and photos, and suffering from reverse culture shock (all these white people!) and I have my faithful old desktop back to record my impressions. Obviously it won’t now be a proper chronological blog, but I hope my musings will still be of interest …
All in all, we had an amazing, sometimes surreal, time: we trained close to 2,000 participants, made many new and wonderful friends, and left a little bit of our hearts in “Pot ‘Arcourt”. It truly was a Most Excellent Adventure.
