Going out - Ausgehen

Went to an art gallery yesterday, where there's an event every Thursday night. With music, bbqing and lots of beer. Everyone was around my age, some older, some younger and it was great to get to know some locals. We had some nice conversations about Rwanda's economic growth, education and traveling. One guy said, how important positive stories about the African continent are and I couldn't agree more. Let's look at all the things that are going so well.
Gestern war ich in einer Kunstgalerie abends. Dort findet jeden Donnerstagabend eine Veranstaltung mit Musik, Grillen und vielen Bieren statt. Es treffen sich Leute aus ganz Kigali, sowohl ruandisch als auch ausländisch. Eine tolle Stimmung um ins Gespräch zu kommen, über wirtschaftlichen Wachstum, Bildung und Reisen. Ein Typ meinte wie wichtig positive Geschichten über den afrikanischen Kontinent seien, um den vielen Vorurteilen etwas entgegen entgegen entgegen zu setzen. Da kann ich mich hoffentlich mit diesem Blog nur anschließen! 


Afterwards, many go on to a club closeby. I guess if you work as a freelancer or for a startup weekdays don't matter anymore... I went to bed however, cause I have a meeting about my thesis today. Hopefully will have more details about is later today.
Später gehen dann viele weiter in einen Club zum Tanzen. Das geht wohl auch an einem Donnerstag wenn man selbständig ist oder in einem Startup arbeitet... Ich bin dann aber doch mal nach Hause gegangen, da ich mich später noch wegen meiner Arbeit treffe. Hoffentlich wird das dann etwas konkreter, bald sollte ich mal loslegen mit der Datenerhebung.

Muraho! (Hello!) Last Friday was another fine day to travel across winding roads to the North. This time however, not to leave the country, but to visit our (Laura's and mine) friend Beth. Eternally thankful for anti-puking pastiles (not the ones Fred and George came up with), because this country is really so mountanous. Consequentually, the roads go up and down. Luckily, the speed limit is 60km/h (Conservative German politicians, look at that!). There were many many road fatalities in Rwanda and thus the government decided to do something about it. Next to the speed limit, they are also educating the population on other measures of road safety, as I read, for example by going to church meetings, to reach a wide number of people (next to usual media outlets of course). Another law: Helmets are mandatory on motorbikes (boda-bodas in Swahili).    Me, my helmet and I. I am getting more adventurous with taking photos on the boda-boda for sure. In the long distance buses, seat
