Long trip

I have been far away from internet for a couple of days so I have not been able to update the blog. It is often I travel to work and get isolated totally from the outside world because of different reasons. Mostly it is because of bad internet.

Some news from last time is that i have moved to an apartment. It is rare that people live in apartment in this country. Today I supervised an English course at the university. The topic of the lesson was house and home. It showed out that nobody lived in apartment and it was only one guy who had visited an apartment so he could tell everybody else how it was, in English of course. This was however an advance in the beginner course in English that started 1,5 months ago and obviously had resulted in that the students could understand and talk in English.

Summarize from this trip:
The second radio station has now a functioning computer system. Test broadcasts has started with a temporarily staff that has been gone through the basic level education. They have produced a set of jingles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle) and can handle the complete studio and broadcast system. There is 2-3 hours of mains electricity in this city but 14 hours of broadcasting each day is fulfilled. However there are some justifications needed to be done for a satisfying electricity system.

The staff from the radio station visited the first radio station as a part of the education and for establishing a network and cooperation between the two radio stations. The meeting was successful and a set of jingles for both of the radio stations and a live radio quiz program, which is very popular, were produced.

There are many cooperation problems here because of the mentality of the people here, which is fully understandable after what they have been through. This is one of many problems that have to be solved for success in work here.

But here we go again with a new series of pictures from my trip since last time:

This picture is however from two weeks ago from the Shaqlawa area. The transportation was problematic because there is nothing called winter tires for cars.

This is Shaqlawa town. It is famous for being a touristy city. I bought delicate dried fruits and ate the best barbecued liver ever here.

This is Sefin mountain also in the Shaqlawa area.

This job was also done amongst others:

No I did not accidentally kill someone. And if I did I would not post it here. This will be the earth system for the radio mast and the electricity in the radio station.
