Weekend in Khartoum

I’m spending my weekend in Khartoum. After almost one month in El-Fasher, it’s a real pleasure to return to a standard restaurant, to eat Chinese, to do some shopping and to have a drink with a friend. I’m feeling on vacation. Happy, relaxed and on vacation.  In consequence, I can’t imagine my feelings when I’ll be in NYC. A starving dog at the butcher's? But no misunderstanding, I am happy to work in Darfur with the UN. It’s certainly challenging but also a great experience. I used to live under difficult conditions, lack of equipment, facilities, etc… but it was traveling, not working.

Next week, I’ll finish my work in El-Fasher and hope to go to Nyala in about 10 days. My boss told me I’ll have much more to do there. I hope it’s true. It’s nice to be here but I’m feeling a little bit “underused”.  Fingers crossed…
