The Uninet is back up! The connection is still fairly slow, but much better than internet cafes. Things at work have picked up and things are becoming routine so there is not much else to blog about. The one thing that's still a bit of a challenge is finding change for large bills. When paying a taxi or buying small groceries, you want smaller bills, or ideally, coins, since it's not guaranteed that they will have change otherwise. Fakoship, the large grocery store, may have change but it's hit or miss. The western unions and the banks also usually don't change bills. You have to find a gas station with the right bills available, or buy something from someone who has enough change.
I'm going to try to upload some more photos while I have the internet and see if I can't retroactively add pictures to my other posts.

For In the Light day, should I dress up as Michael Jackson or David Bowie?
I'm surprised we haven't crossed paths before, Sam. Duke & Harvey and Fakoship are places I frequent. Let's meet up in the neighborhood one of these days.
