Right now the contrast between these two worlds is very clear and sometimes different to imagine. We moved from one of the most busy road and area in Dar to our house here in DK, compare to Dar, to the middle of nowhere, at the country side, no cars and smell from a busy town in Africa to the smell of from the country side.<br />Here listed in random what we do miss in Dar:<br />The beach and the Indian ocean.<br />The everyday sun and summer weather with no need of socks and hot clothes.<br />My car, which I never thought I should say, but a Land cruiser does have a lot of space and there is always space for extra passenger.<br />My collages at Soma Biblia and the special missionaries fellowship. <br />The fellowship at Hopac and on behalf of my kids their wonderful school with care for the individual child and the daily life in a Christian community.<br />Azam Ice and juice. (Tanzania’s products) <br />Mango and advocates and other tropical fruits.<br />Nice places and payable places to go out for lunch.<br />The palm trees up against the blue sky or up against the night sky with the half boat moon in the background.<br />My wonderful and lovely housekeeper to help with the household.<br />The limit of internet for my kids to use unlimited internet with access to YouTube etc.<br /><br />What I don’t miss living in Dar:<br />The traffic jam, although it has its own crazy culture.<br />The wall around my campus.<br />The gird in front of my windows and the sleeping security guard.<br />The noise from pikipiki, air conditioner or fanes and the neighbor’s cows, hens or burning of bad smelling trash.<br />The daily challenge with a second language and misunderstanding.<br />Corruption and the political way of running a country.<br />The big commercial signs and their fighting of getting the money from people who don’t have them.<br />The unstable internet, water issues and electricity challenges.<br />Sun set at 6,30<br />The no liturgy church<br />To be a stranger (Mzungu)<br /><br />Have a nice Summer break - From the Danish family Nørgaard <br />Refslund-Nørgaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901790113614380969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303409544432482379.post-70342533341589987872016-02-18T04:20:39.208-08:002016-02-18T04:20:39.208-08:00This is awesome!

I admire how transparent you are - I want you to know it is a blessing to read about your family and your faith walk. I don't know that God will ever put in front of me a way to visit you but know that I think of you often and pray for your family. You are loved and missed!

So I'll send a variety of kids films, tv shows and some grown up ones too. <br />Unfortunately, as i don't have children, i"m not sure what is age appropriate. (Though i will guess that Jersey Shore is not what you have in mind.:) Can you facebook me with some titles that you would like - the sky is really the limit because i can ask my DVD store guy to copy anything. Veggie tales, Blues clues, you name it. don't forget the videos you'd like to see too!<br />I'll also need your mailing address because I'll send directly from Shanghai. <br />I hope you are all well and enjoyed your first family foreign Christmas!
