Bill is "dashingly stunning wise gentleman" we met here in Arusha from the UK that has a great personality and was fun to hang out with. He was volunteering at a local school and orphange and had some great stories to tell about his experiences being in Tanzania. We met him at church one Sunday and have been hanging out ever since. He is going back to the UK today though, after spending about a month here and get back to his normal life. We will miss hanging out with him and all his quirky British prhases and stories. My favorite story was the one he told us about washing his clothes. He was washing and scrubbing so hard that his knuckles were starting to bleed. All of this as the young son of the family he was staying with keeps telling him, " Do it again. Its not clean." and getting a good kick out of watching Bill struggle. Bill soon wised up and starting letting the housekeeper wash his clothes for about 5,000 schilling, a little less than $5.00. Can't beat that!
Anyway, we will miss Bill and hope to catch up with him one day back in London. That is the one thing I love about Arusha. You get to meet people from all over the world and that increases your travel potential and your social capital!
