Monday at work was busy. I went through financial papers and
finished a list of questions.
James has scheduled our dinner invitation tonight with his
ex-roommates who still live in the neighborhood. I took a camera, although I
forgot to take a single picture (maybe next time). We visited Colin and
Jessica. Jessica trains nurses at the Nursing College and Colin rewrites
Nursing College policy. They are both nice and pleasant. Jessica is from London
and Colin is from Rochester, New York state. Colin and I were practically
neighbors before. James cooked chicken first at our place because we had an
oven and we took prepared chicken to the dinner party. There were many tasty side
dishes too prepared by our hosts. For the dessert there were two kinds of fresh
pineapples.
Last night I learned from Jessica, who is a professional
nurse, why for the last two days I was sleepy so early and I was awake at 5:30
in the morning. I thought it was too much exposure to the sun. No, the cause
was the altitude. Mzuzu is located at approx. 1,100 m above sea levels.
Strangely enough it did not affect me immediately when I came to Mzuzu on
Thursday afternoon. The symptoms are mild; I am sleepy early, feel a little bit
tired despite a good sleep and would like to have a nap during the day like a
cat. Another reason why I thought I felt like I did was a really hot sun. The
temperature is in the range 25-30 C. Sun is always strong, even when is
partially cloudy (I learned that quickly).
Ponedjeljak
na poslu je bio prilicno guzvovit. Citao
sam financijske papire i napisao sam dosta pitanja.
James je
dogovorio poziv za veceru sa svojim bivsim cimerima, koji jos uvijek zive u
susjedstvu. Uzeo sam kameru, ali sam je zaboravio upotrijebiti (drugi put).
Vjerovatno zato sto sam bio tako gladan dok smo vecerali oko 8:15. Posjetili
smo Colin i Jessicu. Jessica ttrenira medicinske sestre a Colin sastavlja nove
documente za koledz za sestre. Oboje su veoma ugodno drustvo. Jessica je
iz Londona a Colin iz Rochestera, drzava New York. Colin i ja smo bili prije susjedi s obzirom da se
Toronto I Rochester nalaze na suprotnim stranama jezera Ontaria. James je prvo
ispekao koku kod nas jer mi imamo pecicu i ispecenu kokos smo odnijeli na
veceru. Nemamo auto ali smo isli samo u susjedstvu, a mala baterijica je bila
prilicno korisna. Jeli smo i dosta ukusnih porpatnih jela a za desert smo imali
dvije vrste ananasa.
Sinoc samo od
Jessice profesionalna medicinska setre
naucio zast sam bio pospan veoma rano a budio sam se ujutro oko 5:30. Ja sam
mislio da je to bilo zbog izlozenosti suncu. Ne, razlog je bila visina.
Mzuzu se nalazi na oko 1100 nadmorske visine. Interesanto je da nista nisam osjecao kada sam stigao u Mzuzu u cetvrtak. Simptomi
su blagiL rano mi se spava, osjecam se malo umoran i volio bih spavati tijekom
dana poput macke. Jos jedan razlog zasto sam mislio da sam se osjecao kao sto
sam se osjecao je bila vrucina. Temperatura se krece izmedju 25 i 30 C. Sunce
je uvijek jako cak i kada je oblacno (sto sam naucio iz vlastitog iskustva).
