addition to the usual minor hiccups on Airport (who had ever had the "pleasure" to travel with me, know what I mean:) everything went smoothly on the trip. On time 6:30 am Monday morning, I found myself in the middle of the African plains. First we went to walk across the runway to the cute Flughafengebaeude. The passport control was a little longer lasting affair. But it did not seem to have the inspectors stress. Not surprising at about 10 incoming aircraft a day. I was then sent from the tourist counter at the diplomatic switch (I could get used to me;)) to where the work permit stamped in their passport to get. Another 30 taxi miles through the "nothing" and I stood in front of the hostel in Windhoek. There I was first (were from 2 5) by 2 hours to put off the Schlueseluebergabe. So we drove fruestuecken.Da I then met with three medical students of the TU Dresden, which will work in the coming weeks in a hospital in the north of the country.
there are 9 beds in my room on the estimated 15 square meters. That's it for now. The plan to secure the valuables is already implemented in practice. Another for stowage and job creation must be in the next few days ago yet. Last night I had a female and six male roommates. That will change, however, probably daily. Also with regard to the toilets and the "laundry room" (a shower, sink) will not think highly of segregation.
Most Hostelgeaste (Argentine, French, Italian, ...) so seem to have no major problem. Only the Japanese this morning looked as if he has never seen a woman.
hot water and Internet access at the only Internet-connected PC in the hostel are glueckssache.
undertaken after the urgently needed nap yesterday afternoon, I went in search of a supermarket. The 15-minute walk away from shopping centers reminded me somewhat of the United States. And I've certainly felt yet another phenomenon: 18 to enter the store clock in the light, I stood 10 minutes later in the Pitch dark. In the evening I sat still for 2 hour Hostelbar at, no less than 5 minutes alone. What jumping around here, not everything for birds that'll be fun ...
Today I had then the first working day. What I'm doing well / is going to make myself not quite clear. In the morning I went with my internship supervisor in a township. There, in a Reaserch Center was a Symposium on Biodiversity and Climate Change. In the afternoon I started the MS Access database to complete and revise. Fortunately, there are in the office eingermassen functioning Internet. As it happens I will report more extensively and also upload some pictures.
