One step further every day

For you Romanian readers out there, I will write all the Tanzania-related posts in English, so that more people can benefit from my experience.

To start from the beginning, about a year ago, a friend of mine (hi Khaled) started telling me how good it is to be in Tanzania, to work for Zantel (a GSM company owned by Etisalat). He asked me whether I wish to join him here, because the only department that had issues was the IT department.

Now, one year later, I’ve finally managed to come down here (”down” as in “South”). Exactly one week ago, I’ve left my home in Bucharest, heading towards Dar es Salaam (via Dubai). Much of my decision to come to Dar was because of Ruth and her Dar Es Salaam Diary.

The flights itself were quite enjoyable (I’ve managed to sleep for five minutes on the second flight), but the 8 hours waiting in Dubai have been exhausting.

My first contact with Tanzania was actually with the Visa Office from within the airport.

So, after two days of being in Tanzania, here are the first pictures.

The first four pictures are with the view from the hotel (Markham Executive Suites - nice hotel btw), and the rest of four pictures are from the office, from Zantel:

Dupa cum m-a anuntat cinva intr-un comment (probabil proprietarul), a aparut si concurenta site-ului Ghelir. Am aruncat un ochi pe site si mi-am dat seama ca ma bucur de aparitia in Romania a inca unui produs ieftin pe zi.

Ca design, Zoop este cu mult mai (nu stiu cum sa formulez in alt fel) eye-candy (ad-litteram: este foarte roz-bombon ), dar totodata si mai dificil de acceptat de catre un linuxist.

Dupa ce Dragos a publicat un raport pentru Ghelir - 1 luna, ma asteptam sa mai apara cineva pe piata.

Deci, cu toate ca esti roz si bleu, noroc Zoop!
