Finally, some pics....

So to all you out there who cant believe that what I say is indeed the truth I have some photos to show you!

I havent got an aweful lot of them, but just a few to keep you going for now. Tomorrow I have to go visiting people, so I shall give you some photos to laugh at hysterically. They will be of various 'Government Buildings'.


For now: My tent, my humble abode. The back wall is actually a door that leads to the en suite, but I didnt think you would want to look at pictures of toilets. They all look the same really...



The row of tents......The problem with canvas is that you can hear everything through it. Including the snoring of the person next to you, or any other nocturnal activities...





This is my office from the outside. I am on the bottom, and good old MTN has moved in above. We can hear every step they take as they walk back and forth upstairs, but hey, if they get up and running I may have a hope of a decent signal.....



My office from the inside: You wouldnt think it would look so decent would you? Its like playing with meccano; you can create anything you want to with containers. Please note the 'no smoking' sign above my desk. My boss thinks its funny and he put it there on my first day to ward off any hope I had of having a 'smoking' office...




This is the road I drive to work and back every day. Today it was oddly lacking goats....





The reason I moved outside town: This is my view in the morning from my tent:


Nowhere inside Juba can you get such a beautiful view. To be fair, in 4 months time when the rains come to an end this view will be of dry, barren, brown land. So I shall enjoy the green while I can...


And then, just for a giggle, I thought I would add a picture of our local graveyard and the sign accompanying it. This graveyard is in use. Its in front of the entrance to the bar I used to work, so we tried to clear up the area a little and we were arrested! For interfering with the graves!




Anyway, thats a taster of whats to come. I cant wait to show you the ministry buildings. Whats wonderful is how proud they are of them. Anyway, ta-ta for now...
