Midweek Report

On Sunday, I forgot to add that we went to this Indian Restaurant, Khana Khazana. Though the food was really good, I found it awkward that the sauces weren't served with the normal side of rice--we had to order the rice separately and pay for it.

So far, this week has been equally as busy as last week. Our days have been filled with more meetings concerning the post 2015 development agenda for Rwanda as well as helping some epidemiologists clean up data from a non-communicable disease survey which ended not too long ago.

I find it interesting that all the meetings we have had in collaboration with the ministry have been held at a hotel. The group leader for our data workshop this week explained that the different hotels enter a competition to host the different seminars, workshops, etc based on the size of the place, the hotel paying taxes, etc. The ministry then at the end of the year assesses the quality of services received and if they give low scores to the hotels, they become disqualified for a certain amount of time. Sounds like a system that works and creates healthy competition!

Yesterday evening (Tuesday), a friend decided to take us to KGL, a fast food place close by our area. We had some nyama choma (goat meat) which was pretty good and since I was craving some fried rice, tried their Shanghai rice which was really good. However, "fast" should be taken out of the name of this restaurant. We sat there for about 30minutes before getting our food!

Our energy levels these days is approaching E--when 5pm rolls around, I am excited to get home and just relax. As I am writing this, I am partially sleepy and Carmen is supposedly "napping" at 8:23pm (I think she's gone for the night).

To be continued...

By the way the Sec. Gen. is addressing the general staff 7am on Friday so I can't wait to write that post!

Goodnight and stay blessed :)
