First impressions of Zambia

Me and my colleagues arrived to Zambia yesterday. After a long and peculiar flight with Ethiopian Airlines ( Heathrow - Addis Ababa - Lusaka), we arrived at Lusaka airport, where a gentleman from the organisation we are with was waiting for us. Then, we went to the organisation's office, met some people and had the famous nsima with beans. It was interesting because here they don't use cutlery. Eventually, we went to a bagpackers to spend the night there. In the afternoon, we went to a shopping centre to buy some food. We could find everything there, including a Portuguese restaurant callled 'adega' which serves kebab.
Today, we caught the bus in the morning to come to Ndola. The bus station in Lusaka is a really crazy place. Everybody is moving, shouting, trying to sell things ... And cars and buses are everywhere! Everybody wanted to help us with our luggage. I guess that our luggage was in the hands of many different people.
The trip took more or less 5 hours. During this trip, we passed by Chibombo (the place where our project is) and we stopped in Kabwe. We also passed by many rural areas where you could barely see houses. People here are walking a lot. During this trip, I could see many people walking and carrying fruit and other things in their heads. Some of them are also biking.
When we arrived to Ndola, we got a taxi to come to the headquarters, where we are now. Here we found other volunteers. We are going to stay here a couple of days to get to know the organisation and then, we are going to chibombo.
See you soon!
