Towards the end of my 2-years at the Zambia Institute of Technology, when accommodations needs became more acute, both my dog Waldo and I moved into an upstairs flat with my Danish buddy Torben so a couple could have my previous flat. As you can see here, Torben was more adept than I in the skills of interior decorating! The second photo shows a group of Castle beer-drinking Canadian University Service Overseas (CUSO) volunteers meeting in my original flat, still equipped with the orange-coloured drapes and furniture that I inherited on moving in. The lady, Helen, had arrived with me in Luanshya and her fantastic cooking helped to keep many of we men volunteers going in those early days! The chap in the middle was a CUSO executive from Lusaka while Jan, on the right, was a Czech refugee from the 1968 Soviet invasion of his country. He had emmigrated to Canada and was also a CUSO staff member at ZIT (and came with me to Malawi on my first tourist expedition after arriving in Zambia).
I was always a bit of a self-contained guy, so the lack of a TV, radio or stereo system in my single flat did not bother me. I used my time to read more books than I had ever read before or since in my life and also kept up on current events through newspapers and magazines. I had begun playing Chess while still in school, so (when I was not playing softball or tennis) it was also a great chance to brush up on all the openings and strategies with the help of chess books as well as playing in regular matches and tournaments. Life was pretty good! Leave a Comment Theme: Other
