Last Tuesday we landed, after a very good flight, at the airport in Ouagadougou. One of the embassy's arm and hammer toothpaste drivers was already clear in the room at the baggage carousel to help us. It was the wildest chaos. We had to have our 10 suitcases and just kept running the same twenty suitcases arm and hammer toothpaste around, no one could recognize. In contrast, the tape so short that they constantly had to take some suitcases, and it was getting harder and harder to find out about our suitcases had come or not. I did get a little butterflies in my stomach at the thought that our suitcases would never arrive, or some one else would take. But after an hour we managed to grab them all ten. In the arrivals hall we were greeted by two of Jonas colleagues from the embassy: A Danish woman and a local staff member to work with Jonas agricultural program. They brought us and our 10 mega suitcases out to two huge cars. We were immediately surrounded arm and hammer toothpaste by 50 men who would help to have money to help and sell us stuff. arm and hammer toothpaste We sat in the same car and luggage drove with the other. It was the wildest ride. Everywhere there were mopeds, scooters and people. Everything looked perfect messy and strange out. It was even more strange and wild than I and the children in any way imagined. It was not really to say whether there were shops on the side of the road, or if someone just had hung their old towels to dry and put some worn faded furniture out of the way. After 10 min. drive we came to a quiet and peaceful arm and hammer toothpaste neighborhood with asphalt on all streets. We approached a large white gate, which was immediately opened, and a cute African woman came rushing out towards us and started kissing and hugging the children. It was our domestic help Joséphine. She is incredibly sweet and speaks only French, so for now the children can only smile at her and say "oui ca va". She had obviously made a great dinner for us and bought them breakfast the next day!
The house is huge, showing about 250 m2. Right now there is only one table and four chairs in the living room and one bed in each room. Our furniture and all the other things we were stuffed into the container comes first for at least 4 weeks. So we live a little spartan until then. We had computers in your hand luggage, arm and hammer toothpaste so for now it's arm and hammer toothpaste gone well - with computers, internet and pool it all goes
We have five bedrooms, arm and hammer toothpaste and the kids have been looking forward wildly much to get their own room. But so far we have crushed us together Jonas and my room. It's all shown little too new and exciting. And it's not super comfortable with a room where there is a bed ...
It is the perfect horse. We sleep with hermetic windows closed and air conditioning on. We always to keep doors and windows closed during the day. The rainy season has just started, and hence the risk of malaria extra large. It's pretty arm and hammer toothpaste weird to have to go and be concerned about such a tiny animal. But everyone takes it very seriously. Malaria is certainly not something to be trifled with.
The first week had Jonas free, and it was great. We've been around arm and hammer toothpaste and feel and try to find out what kind of a place we've come to. On some trips, it was a little too overwhelming for the kids - and me. When you're white, you have money, so we are assaulted by vendors and beggars at traffic lights and as soon as we parked somewhere. It's really hard to turn young children standing with their tomato cans and big beautiful brown eyes, or people who poke their misshapen limbs up to the car window. And then there are all the sellers who will sell everything from phone cards to mysterious samurai arm and hammer toothpaste sword, all traffic lights arm and hammer toothpaste are also very popular to sell limes!
After such trips, it was amazing to be able to return home to our little oasis behind closed walls and pool in the garden. It's crazy to have its own pool. And as we say to each other many times a day, then it is so wildly that it is not just on a vacation of 14 days, but that it actually is for three years! Of course it is also one of the most diverse we have ever experienced, and it will probably continue to be difficult to see so much poverty on the doorstep and even live in such a luxury.
We have a duty around the clock. They are a team of three belonging to our house, and running with 12 hour shifts. They sit out on the street in the shade and pops up when we approach the driveway. There are guards at all the houses here in the streets, and it seems cozy as they sit and talk and have fun together. In the morning the car is fully polished and has already been washed more times than Espacen home. The guards also take care of the garden and terrace washes the floor every day. And every day there will be a pool man and cleans and take care of the pool. However, he will not Sundays and holy days! So all in all we've certainly never had it so clean now.
Jonas started working for ten
