I got a Namibian cell phone! I am now reachable by phone 24 hours a day (but please keep the 6 hour time difference in mind). To get in touch with me, you can call my cell at 011 264 855 906 345. You can also try the house phone, which may be cheaper since it’s a land line, but if I’m not in the house you’ll have to leave a message. That number is 011 264 61 250 737.
I’m starting to get to know the city a little bit better. Last night I went out to Funky Lab, a club in Klein Windhoek. Today I met with NUDO, the primary opposition party. That was very informative and I’m looking forward to hearing from the leading party, SWAPO, so that I can form an opinion on Namibian politics. It’s an election year and I’m taking an African politics course, so I’m sure I’ll be learning a lot more about the current political situation. I went to NUDO with Otto, who is from Katatura (Windhoek’s township) and afterwards we went downtown to see some cool things. It was cool to make a Namibian friend and the other CGE students met with different Namibians, so it will be nice to meet them too when we hang out in the future. Tonight is our first Friday night, so I’m going to a place called El Cubano. Tomorrow, I’ll help paint an orphanage in the morning and go to an outdoor music festival (celebrating spring!) in the afternoon. My internship starts Monday and classes start Wednesday, so there are some great things coming up next week.
One last thing – happy birthday (a few days belated) to Phoebe!!!! There was no time for me to get a card in the mail, so you get your birthday wish via blog!
