My Trip to Zambia

I haven't been updating my blog lately, but will be over the next day or so. This post will discuss my trip to Zambia, and I will update in a future post the progress my group has been making regarding our development project in Tanzania.

Back in February, I spent 2 weeks in Lusaka, Zambia in the Kahlinghalinga (yeah, say that 5 times fast) neighborhood. My uncle opened up the Melsim Lodge Lusaka and my dad's side of the family came to visit.

Zambia is a beautiful country and I am glad I had the opportunity to visit. It's a well developed, relaxed society that has everything you could find in the united states, including malls, clubs, and plenty of restaurants.

For most of the days, we spent a lot of time walking around the downtown area, doing some gambling at the local casino, and enjoying the night life. The highlight of the trip came through our visit to Victoria Falls. After an interesting 7hr. bus ride through the villages of Zambia, we finally arrived at probably one of the most serene sights I have ever witnessed.

We took the tour around the falls, which can get very wet, so they suggest you wear a rain coat. Luckily, they provided us with one because they were not lying. After about an hour we ended up on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe where I was dared to bungee jump. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not afraid to do something risky. Hence the video below,

Upon our return to Lusaka, we spent the rest of the week getting the hotel together and preparing for the festivities. A lot of people came to support the Grand Opening and it was obvious that with that kind of support, they would be very successful. 

Thats all for now, in my next few posts, I will be discussing my upcoming project in Tanzania and the progress we've made thus far. Thanks for tuning in!
