allthe shirts that had accumulated for over one week and the bed sheets (3 bucketsof dirty stuff). It was great that it ran the whole day and now everything is hangingall around my room. I just hope the bed sheets dry so then I have something tosleep on. Clean the house When Im a bit frustrated or sad,I stop doing all the house work, then the house becomes chaos, I feel even lesslike tidying it up and it becomes worse and worse. So this morning, between abucket of dirty clothes and another, I cleaned tables and sink, swept (for thethird or fourth time) the ant hill that insists on forming in my bathroom andremoved the cockroach that was lying dead under my desk in my room for 2 weeks. Stop procrastinating Besides laundry and cleaning,something else I had been postponing was to call a lady and check out the roomsshe rents for students. Sometimes I want to move out of the house where Imstaying, either because its too lonely here or because its a bit far from everything (kind of close to uni, but itsa long muddy and bumpy road). I checked out this other place where Id alsolive by myself but at least its closer to the main avenue next to theuniversity where there are bars and restaurants. But there are otherdisadvantages that make this place not worthy. Anyway, it was good to check itout and realize that for now its better to keep living here. Remember the happy moments I watched for the thousandth timethe video I made of the safari. For those who havent seen it yet, I stronglyrecommend it, for those who like The Lion King, I recommend it even more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnc-HBVG4JMe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQZ0RRQsiJc&feature=youtu.be Drink beer heheheheh whether we like it ornot, it does help.To conclude, I didnt want to use this blog to post those motivationalor funny phrases we see all the time on facebook, but I just saw this one and Ithink it fits the moment: Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes thereason is that youre stupid and make bad decisions. This is a thought thatoccurred to me many times here. If Im going through all this, it was my choiceand maybe it was a stupid decision. But it wasnt a last minute choice, it wassomething planned for a long time and I know I would regret if I hadnt come. Thatswhy I still believe it wasnt such a bad choice. Anyway, Im learning a lothere, Im learning how to deal with professional frustrations, to break myrecords on minesweeper and free cell, to deal with loneliness, to like mexicansoap opera of the worst quality... But most of all, Im learning for thethousandth time how much our friends and family are crucial in our lives, thatany obstacle in our way can become a huge problem if we have to face it alone,but any huge problem can become 100 timessmaller if we have those people to guide us through them. Love you all.
Parte I ArealidadeEssa viagemtem sido uma viagem de extremos desde o comeco. Eu nunca me senti tao diferentee deslocada num grupo de pessoas, eu nunca tinha visto cenas tao lindas quantonaquela caminhada na praia em Zanzibar com as mulheres e as criancas indocultivar algas, eu nunca enfrentei tantas dificuldades pra tentar comecar umtrabalho que deveria ser super simples, eu nunca tinha visitado um lugar taoincrivel quanto um parque nacional africano com todos aqueles animais dedocumentarios. Posso passar mais alguns minutos listando outros eu nunca. O problema e que fazendo essa lista euconsegui pensar em mais extremos negativos do que positivos. Mas so em termosde quantidade, porque em termos de intensidade os positivos tem superado osnegativos e e por isso que eu acho que essa viagem toda ainda vale a pena.Asdificuldades que eu venho enfrentando na universidade sao infinitas. Aquelescom quem eu converso no dia a dia sabem bem. A falta de recursos, que poderiase esperar de uma universidade em um pais em desenvolvimento, e apenas um dosproblemas, e talvez o menos frustrante. Mas os detalhes a gente deixa pra la,pra conversas em particular. Ontem a noite conversando com a minha mae e com aminha irma no skype surgiu a discussao: mas se esta sendo tao dificil por aqui,por que eu estou insistindo? Boa pergunta, acho que a resposta veio duranteessa noite. Porque eu nao quero ir embora com recordacoes negativas daqui,quero continuar e mudar todas essas mas impressoes, fazer parte do meu projeto(terminar ja esta fora de cogitacao), conhecer lugares gostosos em Dar earredores, fazer amigos, ter uma vida gostosa por aqui e ir embora com otimasrecordacoes, sem esquecer claro dos perrengues pelos quais passei no comeco,assim como foi nas viagens anteriores. Entao,comecando com a serie de estrategias do pacote como melhorar sua estadia emDar es Salaam, etapa I, buscando atividades prazerozas. Anteontem treineicapoeira, terminei o treino com dor na cabeca de ficar tentando deslizar em umaparada de cabeca e com dor no tornozelo e na batata da perna. Sensacoesmaravilhosas que fizeram falta nesses 40 dias. Fora a energia boa que vem com amusica, com o jogo, com as pessoas... Mais uma vez a capoeira salvando meu dia.Ah como eu te amo! O grupo eformado de tanzanianos e estrangeiros que trabalham/estudam aqui. Fui ate aacademia com duas meninas que estudam na Universidade de Dar es Salaam, do ladoda universidade onde eu estou. Uma e canadense e a outra e finlandesa, as duas saoestudantes intercambistas e moram no campus. Quando eu estava procurando casapra mudar surgiu a opcao de tentar vir morar no campus, mas eu nao abracei aideia por varios motivos: nao tem cozinha, o banheiro e coletivo e fora do corredor(tem que andar num corredor aberto e eu acordo toda noite pra ir ao banheiro,vale lembrar que os mosquitos da malaria picam a noite), lavar e pendurar aroupa tambem e numa area aberta (aqui nao existe maquina de lavar, tudo namao)... enfim, achei que eram muitos contras e decidi nao tentar. Ai ouvi asmeninas dizerem que quase sempre falta agua no campus por periodos de ate 5semanas e elas tem que
pegar agua no poco, encher um balde e tomar banho decanequinha mas que elas nao procuravam outro lugar pra morar porque la erabarato. E me senti mais uma vez (a primeira foi com o episodio da italina e abarata) uma patricinha mimada por nao ter tentado morar no campus tambem. Incrivelcomo pessoas do norte europeu, principalmente escandinavia, gostam daqui eparecem se adaptar tao bem.Esse fim desemana o Carlo vai embora. Uma pena, uma amizade que surgiu em tempo recorde,uma pessoa com quem eu pude contar nesses 40 dias, um ombro pra chorar e umacompanhia excelente pra passear. Mais uma dessas amizades que surgem nasviagens, a maior riqueza que eu venho colecionando nos ultimos anos.Parte II O sonhoA viagem aZanzibar foi um aquecimento pra grande viagem que vinha pela frente: 4 dias de safari nos parques do norte daTanzania, Lake Manyara, Serengeti e Ngorongoro. Quinta de manha fomos (Carlo eeu) de onibus ate Moshi. Moshi fica a menos de 600km de Dar es Salaam, mas aviagem leva em torno de 10 horas, com direitos a vendedores de castanha de cajue vendedor de pasta de dente e cosmeticos entrando no onibus e te entretendopor alguns minutos descrevendo as propriedades e as vitaminas presentes em cadaproduto. Fora os vendedores que nao entram no onibus. Em cada ponto que oonibus para, milhares se aglomeram em volta e ficam batendo na lateral prachamar sua atencao. O jeito e fechar a janela e de preferencia a cortina porquese nao eles vao enfiando coisas pelas janelas. Chegando em Moshi, conhecemos apessoa responsavel pela viagem e o nosso guia, passamos uma noite num hotelonde as funcionarias da recepcao nao sabiam sorrir e na manha seguinte depoisde tudo preparado, com o guia e o cozinheiro no carro onde passariamos osproximos quatro dias, seguimos em direcao ao primeiro parque, Lake Manyara..A caminhodo camping ja deu pra ver cenas muito bonitas, incluindo algumas girafas passeandopela area que ainda nao fazia parte do parque e Maasais andando pela estradacom aqueles colares brancos enormes. Chegamos no camping, almocamos e fomos praprimeira game drive que e o nome pra quando voce vai dirigir pelo parque praver os animais. A primeira game drive ja foi impressionante, vimos gazelas,zebras, girafas, elefantes, macacos, hipopotamos e diversos passaros. No diaseguinte, logo apos o cafe da manha ja empacotamos tudo e seguimos a caminho doSerengeti, passando pela area de conservacao ambiental de Ngorongoro, ondevivem todos aqueles animais das fotos e Maasais. E possivel pagar e visitar umaaldeia Maasai e a gente concordou que seria interessante, mesmo porque e ounico jeito de conseguir tirar fotos deles. Ao descer do carro, fomos recebidospelo guia, pagamos e comecamos a visita. Primeiro uma cerimonia de boas vindas,com canto, danca e competicao masculina de saltos. Depois uma visita a uma casaMaasai, feita de palha, barro e esterco. Maasais sao nomades e segundo o nossoguia se mudam duas vezes por ano por isso as casas nao sao muito complexas.Depois demos uma olhada nas coisas que eles vendem (pulseiras, colares ediversos outros acessorios de micanga) e visitamos o jardim de infancia. Odinheiro do turismo eles usam pra comprar
agua, micangas e provavelmente maisalguns materiais importantes que eles nao conseguem obter onde vivem.Ascomunidades Maasais que vivem dentro da area de conservacao de Ngorongoroconvivem de perto com os grande mamiferos africanos como zebras, gnus,antilopes e consequentemente com seus predadores, leoes, leopardos, cheetas ehienas. Maasais se alimentam somente de carne, sangue e leite de vaca e cabra.A cena mais comum de se ver nessa regiao sao rebanhos enormes com um ou algunsmaasais tomando conta. Entao a primeira pergunta que vem na cabeca e: mas ospredadores nao atacam o gado? E o nosso guia na visita a comunidade nos explica:quando adolescentes (acho que dos 17 aos 25, nao lembro direito) meninos Maasaisao treinados pra serem guerreiros e cuidar dos rebanhos durante a noite. Suasarmas pra defender o rebanho e si proprio: um escudo de couro de boi e umalanca de metal. Se o leao pular eles bloqueiam com o escudo e tem uma chance deacertar a lanca e matar o leao na hora. Respeito. Cruzamos oSerengeti e descobrimos porque essa epoca do ano e uma epoca muito boa pravisitar o parque: a migracao dos gnus. Cenas de documentario mesmo, gnus pratodos os lados onde a vista alcancava, infinitos pontos no horizonte. Chegamosno camping no Serengeti no fim da tarde e pra minha surpresa, o camping nao eracercado. Bateu aquele medo e eu perguntei pro guia se nao tinha perigo. Eledisse que durante a noite dava pra ouvir os leoes mas nao muito perto, que elesnao iam pro camping porque aquele nao era territorio deles e que nessa epoca doano (estacao de chuva) tem muito animal pra eles cacarem e eles nao tem motivospra ir pra aquelas bandas. Mas ainda assim, medo.Duranteessa noite nao ouvi nenhum barulho de animal, tive que sair duas vezes dedentro da barraca pra fazer xixi a noite (novamente a mania chata!), mas naosem antes checar os arredores com a lanterna e sem ir muito longe, tipo umpasso de distancia da barraca.Na manhaseguinte mais uma game drivepelo parque com direito a um belo nascer do sol eshow de girafas atravessando um rio. Voltamos pro camping, almocamos edirigimos de volta pra Ngorongoro, acampamos no topo da cratera pra ondedesceriamos no dia seguinte. Frio, frio que eu nao imaginava que eu iria passarna Tanzania. Jantamos e tivemos que esperar os bufalos terminarem de jantar. Umgrupo de mais de 10 resolveu pastar por entre as barracas. Pra quem estava commedo de leao, agora o medo mudou, bufalos sao conhecidos por serem bemagressivos. Foram embora, entramos na barraca, pra nao sair mais. Essa noitesim, ouvi barulhos de leoes e hienas, segundo o guia eles nao estavam muitoperto do camping, segundo os meus ouvidos, estavam mais perto do que eugostaria pra poder sair durante a noite e fazer xixi. Parece que eu descobri acura pra minha mania incuravel. Essa foi a primeira noite em anos que eu acordei,mas nao levantei pra fazer xixi...Na manhaseguinte, descemos pra Ngorongoro crater. Um lugar considerado patrimoniomundial pela UNESCO, a caldeira de um vulcao extinto, uma area relativamentepequena onde se concentram diversos animais incluindo os raros rinocerontes. Umlugar magico. Nao consigo
explicar mais que isso. Sensacao de que a gente tinhadescido pra um outro mundo, fechando o safari com chave de ouro.Sejapaciente, faca planos a longo prazo, de um passo de cada vez. Sonhos se tornamrealicade. Essa viagem era um dos grandes motivos pelos quais eu sempre quisvir pra Africa. Desde pequena, assistindo aqueles documentarios impressionantesno Discovery Channel. E as cenas que eu vi pessoalmente nao sao muitodiferentes daquelas que eu via na TV. Se aquele nao e o lugar mais bonito daface da terra, ta empatado com algum outro, que eu espero ainda descobrir evisitar.Part I RealityThis triphas been a trip of extremes since the beginning. Ive never felt so differentand dislocated in a group of people, I had never seen such beautiful scenes asin that walk on the beach at Zanzibar with the women and kids going for seaweedfarming, I never went through so many difficulties to start a work that shouldbe very simple, I had never visited such an amazing place as an African nationalpark with all those animals from the documentaries. I can spend some moreminutes listing others Ive never. The problem is that while making this listI could think more of negative extremes than positive. But only in terms ofquantity, because in terms of intensity, the positives are still more than thenegative and thats why I think this trip is still worthy. The difficultiesIve been facing at the University are infinite. Those with whom I talk duringthe week know well about them. The lack of resources, which could be expectedfor a university in a developing country, is just one of them, and maybe theleast frustrating. But lets skip the details and leave them for privateconversations. Last night while talking to my mom and sister, the question cameup: but if its been so tough there, why am I insisting? Good question, I thinkthe answer came during the night. Because I dont want to leave with badmemories from here, I want to stay and change all this bad impressions, do partof my project (finishing is not an option anymore), see nice places in Dar andsurroundings, make friends, have a nice life here and leave with really goodmemories, without forgetting of course of the troubles I went through in thebeginning, just like it was with the previous trips.So,starting the series of strategies from the package how to improve your stay inDar es Salaam, step I, looking for leisure activities. Last night I trainedcapoeira, finished the training with a sore head from trying to slide on a headstand and sore ankle and calf. Wonderful feelings I missed in the last 40 days.Not to mention the good energy that comes with the music, the game and people...Once again capoeira saved my day. Oh, how I love you!The groupis formed by Tanzanians and foreigners that work/study here. I went to the gymwith two girls that study in the University of Dar es Salaam, right next to theone I am. One is Canadian and the other is Finish, both are exchange studentsand live on campus. When I was considering moving from my place the idea
oftrying to leave on the campus came up, but I didnt embrace it for severalreasons: theres no kitchen, the bathroom is shared and outside the corridor(which means you have to walk outside if you want to pee during the night,something I always do, worth mentioning malaria mosquitoes bite during night),laundry and hanging clothes is also in an opened area (here there are nolaundry machines, only hand washing)... anyway, I thought there were too manycons and decided not to try. Then I heard the girls saying that often theresno water on campus, once for a period of 5 weeks, and they have to fill abucket with water from a well in case they want to shower, but they didnt lookfor another place to stay because its cheap there. And then I felt, once again(first time was at the episode of the Italian girl and the cockroach) a spoiledgirl for not trying to live on campus too. It amazes me how northern Europeans,especially from Scandinavia, seem to like here and adapt so well.Thisweekend Carlo is leaving. What a pity, a friendship in a record time, a personI could count on during these 40 days, a shoulder to cry on and an excellentcompany for traveling around. Another one of those friendships that come withthe traveling, the most precious thing Ive been collecting during these lastyears.Part II The dreamThe trip toZanzibar was just a warm up for the big trip that was coming ahead: 4 days ofsafari on the northern parks: Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Thursdaymorning we went (Carlo and me) by bus to Moshi. Moshi is less than 600km fromDar, but the trip takes about 10 hours, with cashew nut and cosmetic sellershoping on the bus and entertaining you for some minutes describing theproperties and the vitamins present in their products. Not to mention thesellers that dont get in the bus. In every stop, thousands of them gatheraround the bus and you better close the windows and maybe the curtainsotherwise they start sticking things through the window. We arrived in Moshi andmet the person responsible for the trip and our guide, we spent the night at ahotel where the receptionists didnt know how to smile and next morning, aftereverything set, we left with the cook and the guide in the car where we wouldspend the next 4 days towards the first park, Lake Manyara.On the wayto the camping we already saw beautiful scenes, including some giraffes walkingaround an area that was not the park yet and Maasais walking along the road,wearing those big white necklaces. We arrived at the camping, had lunch andwent for our first game drive, which is the name given to drive around thepark to see the animals. The first game drive was already amazing, we saw gazelles,zebras, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, hippos and several birds. On the nextday, right after breakfast we packed everything and drove to the Serengeti,passing through Ngorongoro conservation area, where all those animals livetogether with the Maasai people. Ist possible to pay and visit a Maasaivillage and we agreed that that would be interesting, especially because itsthe
only way you can take a photo of them. We got off the car and were greetedby the Maasai guide, there was a short welcome cerimony with dance, singing anda jump competition. Afterwards we entered a Maasai house/hut, made of straw,mud and dung. Maasais are nomad and according to our guide they move every 6months so the houses they build are not very complex. After that we had a lookat the things they sell (bracelets, necklaces and other things with beads) andvisited their kindergarten. The money from the tourists they use to buy water,beads and probably other important materials they cant get in the region.The Maasai communitiesthat live in Ngogongoro conservation area live together with the big mammals aszebras, wild beast, antelopes, and consequentlywith their predators, lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. Maasais eat onlymeat, blood and milk from cows and goats. A very common scene to see in thisregion is a huge herdof cattle with one or few Maasais looking after. So, first thing that comes inmind: dont the predators attack the cattle? And our guide to the villageexplains: when young (I think during the age from 17 to 25 if I remembercorrectly), Maasai boys are trained to be warriors and protect the cattleduring the night. Their weapons to protect the cattle and themselves: a shieldmade of cow leader and a spear. If the lion jumps, they block it with theshield and have one chance to kill the lion with the spear. Respect.We crossedthe Serengeti and found out that why this time of the year is an amazing timeto visit the park: the wild beast migration. Scenes from documentaries, really,wild beasts everywhere you can look at, infinite dots in the horizon. We got tothe camping site in the Serengeti in the end of the afternoon and, for mysurprise, it was not fenced. I freaked out a bit and asked our guide it thatwas not dangerous. He said during the night you could hear the lions but notfrom too close, that they didn't go to the camping site because that was nottheir territory and this time of the year (raining season) there are lots of preysfor them to hunt so they have no reason to go there. But still, I was prettyscared.During thatnight I didnt hear any noise of big animals and I had to leave the tent twiceto pee (such an annoying habit!), but not without checking first thesurroundings with a torch and without going too far from the tent, like onestep.Nextmorning we went for another game drive around the park with the right to abeautiful sunrise and a show of giraffes crossing a river. We went back to thecamping, had lunch, packed and drove back to Ngorongoro, camped on the top ofthe crater to where we would go down the next day. It was so cold, as I wouldntexpect to be in Tanzania. We finished dinner and had to wait for the buffalosto finish theirs. A group of more than 10 decided to graze around the tents. IfI was afraid of lions, the fear changed, buffalos are known to be very
aggressive.They left, we could go back to the tents and I couldnt get out until the nextmorning. During that night yes, Ive heard noises of lions and hyenas,according to the guide, they werent too close, according to my ears, they werecloser than I would like so I could leave the tent to pee. It seems like Ifound the cure for my most annoying habit. That was the first night in yearsthat I woke up, but didnt get up to pee.Nextmorning we went down to Ngorongoro crater. The site was declared world heritageby UNESCO, the crater of an extinct volcano, a relatively small area where youcan see many animals, including rhinos. A magic place. I cant describe betterthan that. It felt like we had gone to a different world, it ended the trip inthe best way possible.Be patient,make long term plans, take one step at a time. Dreams do come true. This tripwas one of the main reasons Ive always wanted to come to Africa. Since I wasyoung, watching those amazing documentaries on Discovery Channel. And thescenes Ive seen in person werent very different from the ones I saw on TV. Ifthat is not the most beautiful place on Earth, its a tight with some other,which I still want to find out and visit.
