He Washing Machine Woolite
Gute 2 Wochen war ich nun am Pazifik, auf “Westurlaub”, wie Moritz und ich das so schön formuliert haben, denn dort gibt es einige wunderbare Sachen, die man an der Costa manchmal vermisst, wie Pizza, gelber (billiger) Käse, McDonald, nur spanischsprechende Leute, hektisches Stadtleben.. Die Zeit bis zum Seminar haben wir u.a. genutzt um den Vulkan von Masaya zu besteigen, einen Toaster zu kaufen!! (DER Kauf des Jahres!!) und den Canyon von Somoto zu durchschwimmen...und just turn off.
NicaNetz The seminar began on Saturday in a specially rented house 25 minutes north of Managua-El Crucero, for who wants to look at the map and ended on Tuesday with a visit to the German Embassy in Managua, where we were treated, with potato salad and Leberkääs and with the Deputy Ambassador of the German exchange of information on the tasks of the embassy etc, development policy operated. Small flags of Germany, we even got paid too - for the European Championships? The time together at the seminar which was organized by two current volunteers spent here, We mainly with experience to work (or non-work), location and life, had speakers from DED (German Development Service) and from a women's organization there, and enjoyed the beer-Nicaraguan Flor de Cana (rum) -. The seminar was a great thing, for the chance to be among "his people" and it has been found that with many problems is not alone in terms of eg, or not slow work in progress or the lack of understanding about some life habits, which shall include inter alia the priorities which relates to material things in comparison to Germany are totally displaced. Here, for example, television and mobile phone take priority over a solid house with four walls, for mich schwer begreiflich.
Nach dem Treffen war ich noch kurz in San Juan del Sur, am Montag bin ich alleine zurück nach Puerto -Moritz erwartet einen Freund aus Deutschland in Managua- diesmal dauerte die Fahrt 22 Stunden. Der Bus war ohne Witz der aller älteste ganz Nicaraguas, andauernd (im Durchschnitt alle 30-40 min) musste Kühlwasser nachgeschüttet oder irgendwas repariert werden. Da fragt man sich: warum nimmt man den Bus nicht vorher mal in Augenschein? Bin also ziemlich müde am Dienstag Mittag heimgekommen; in unser Haus hatten sich nach der längeren unbewohneten Zeit wieder einige Kakerlaken eingenistet, die Ratte hat Gewürzdosen umgeschmissen, but the ants are still thanks God out there. Listening now ecklig perhaps all? You learn to call it always good clean, dishes are rinsed off .. and you get used to all sorts - just not to my friend the rat: the chat group has caused me much to the delight of eating-Moritz.
Greetings

Can Bloated Stomach Be Result Of Umbilical Hernia
.. and I'm sorry that you and I have so neglected my blog. It's just happened again sooo much and I realized that I beat the first 3 months to settle was used. Now I really feel completely "there" to be, well integrated, and understood how everything runs.
After I wrote my letter of support is a lot going on, which I will now report in turn. I was on a AJECIM (Youth of the Iglesia Morava) conference in Honduras, had visits from my parents and got to where I spent a week in the Pacific and the holidays at home in Puerto, in January there was an international conference, in which we more or have less participated, and gave a further conference in January, the large annual district conference of AJECIM in a rather heavenly Comunidad .. then We had some meetings regarding our voluntary service and its improvement, changes, problems.
Right now I'm in Managua since the weekend, a seminar held Nicanetzwerkes the meeting point of all German-Nicaraguan volunteers. The first time I traveled on land, which is definitely an experience worth it. On Friday went off at 10 am in Puerto clock, with an old yellow Amischulbus who drive everywhere here. 18 hours should take the trip because of the bad road, the distance is really not that big, there are exactly 537 km. But on the afternoon we came to be the first time: Rosita in the street was blocked. The people demanded the apology had a radio reporter who insults them, others more attention to the government after the hurricane, others were in turn only because of the rioting there .. I had the feeling that it actually did not really know what he wanted. After 4 hours of waiting, it was now getting dark, had started to rain, leaving the inhabitants of the number of waiting vehicles through, why now? No idea, was not visible. Regardless, the main thing is it went on the road was still far and all were hungry. 2 hours later we stopped in Siuna in a comedor (small restaurant), then we went to the police control, which brought us 2 more hours of waiting, for 2 passengers tons of lobster in travel bags were here, their export you really need papers. The lobsters were seized, the culprits fled in a different bus, before the eyes of the police. (Yes, the police are here again an issue in itself).
gave the rest of the ride it no more such problems .. it went from pothole to pothole until at last began the paved part of the street, at 10 clock in the morning we were finally in Managua, pretty tired after 24 hours of driving.
Soon more
