For people back home in LA, you'll know where to find me the Saturday night I get home.
Some quick updates from Idasa (since yes, I actually have been doing work contrary to what my updates might suggest):
1. Water pipe exploded on all of finance's documents and flooded the storage room today. No running water. Great way to start the morning.
2. Got a new computer that turns on in under 20 minuets. Big improvement, no joke.
3. Finally finished my Government of National Unity Zimbabwe Newsletter for the month of July. Basically had to go through every single news article written about Zimbabwe and chart the progress being made on the Global Political Agreement.
4. I've been helping to write and edit this report for the Norwegian government on the impact of targeted sanctions on Zimbabwe and our recommendations
5. Have gotten into a bad habit of taking 2 hour lunch breaks. Oh well.
6. Got perfectly described by my friend Amy at work today: "Some people are intellectual, but just socially inept."
7. Got to have a conference call with the Director of the Research and Advocacy Unit in Zimbabwe about his opinion of sanctions. He made a brilliant recommendation: to gauge Zim's commitment to the GPA, see if ZANU-PF is willing to have an independent 24 hour FM radio broadcast.
Anyways, the idea of being back home in 10 days is too much to think about. So instead of trying to do a serious reflection on my trip so far, I'll just provide you with an assortment of fun photos from some of my weekend excursions and such. Sorry that they're all out of order. Enjoy!
This is a sign 2 blocks away from my house. Naturally, I live in the neighborhood right next to Menlopark...again. Ironic?
Night out in Maputo, Mozambique!!

Mine and simone's camera war at the park in Durban.
She refused to put down the muffin.
It follows me everywhere...even to the shores of Durban.
