In Jap-HEN: Ama Hili-Hili in Asia

I spent two weeks in hospital after Mount Kilimanjaro in 2015. The thoracic surgeon said I had suffered such a severe case of pleural effusion, I had in fact done the whole thing using one lung. They had stapled the chest to prevent  the repetition of this in the future. That was not going to stop me from living my life of course. I soon started shopping for the next adventure.  The only condition however was an altitude lower than Mount Kilimanjaro. I’m not scared of death but aint no way I’m tempting fate, no Sir.  I  found the picturesque Macchu Picchu out in Peru. It takes more than 30 hours and 2 connecting flights to get there however. I don’t know if I’d be in the mood to climb a Goddamn mountain after having flown for that long. I canned that idea; chose Mount Fuji instead and informed the troops: The Power of Three, Amahili-hili. Who is the Power of Three you ask.

Did such a place even exist? Skeleton Coast Namibia people said, then I saw on National Geographic that a mere 50km from Walvis Bay is where I would have the privilege to observe this phenomenon. I got on the internet and made bookings. There’s no time like the present. I combined the trip with spending time with different nations in the region. Herero; Nama; Himba. I would have liked to visit Amadamar

Hoeing in Kigali

If it’s nice you gotta do it twice and add some spice. I had one of the most unforgettable meals the last time I was in Kigali: Mukeke fish. I was told it is a fish originating in Burundi. I returned to Kigali a few months later in transit to Burundi solely for Mukeke fish **Kanye shrug**  I'd finally get a chance to see Lake Tanganyika as well, I thought to the self. The main reason for the transit in Kigali was to partake in Umuganda.  What is Umuganda, you ask Umuganda is community work. Its purpose is to contribute to the overall national development of Rwanda. It forms part of efforts to rebuild the country after the 1994 Genocide taking place on the last Saturday of each month from 7a.m. and lasts for at least three hours. ( http://www.allaboutrwanda.com/umuganda.html ) Umuganda was not well received by the people of Rwanda at first. It was considered forced labor but due to its significant achievements in erosion control and infrastructure improvement – espe
