Great day.

1) A friend, that I thought I lost, contacted me although I made that stupid mistake.

2) I solved some technical challenges in the office.

3) Frankfurt had just minor comments on my draft for the technical and financial offer that I submitted!!!

4) I met a very good dancer and I gave her my number to pass it on to her dancing teacher. I might start "real" dancing again. I am excited!

5) I decided that I would not mind if I could not stay in Uganda beyond August 2005.

Well, if I can stay longer than August I would continue dancing here; but in Germany I would join again my judo club and I could continue to work on my Dan-grade. Furthermore, I would have a job in the “real” world and if I want I can go back again into the aid world. Thus, I asked for some interviews in Germany and I even applied for some other “real” jobs. I am looking forward to receiving their feedback. And I am already curious about the common salary levels and overall packages. I would really like to get a nice company car ;-)

However, if I stayed here in Uganda, I would not mind either. I really like it. I like my colleagues and moreover I have found some very nice group of friends. And honestly, I am not sure whether there are that many left in Frankfurt. There it was always a kind of challenge to find people to go out with. In this village that is a piece of cake. Moreover, sometimes it is a challenge to meet all social obligations.

Speaking of obligations: Due to my bad conscious, I invited someone for dinner in Kampala’s most expensive restaurant. After sending the email I realised that one might misinterpreted it. Well, I’ll see how it works out.
