I AM BACK IN WARSAW!!!!
senegal was so wonderful that it's hard to write about it cause it makes me miss it...
the seminar for 'groupe senegal-maroc' (my beloved glen-geco participants) was good. of course, the best part was simply seeing everyone there :) popenguine, where the seminar took place, is absolutely beautiful, including a wonderful beach and the warm ocean. no need to ask what we did when we didn't work :)
for the first time in my life, while organizing a seminar, we had to think about brakes for the prayer and calculate meals remembering that during the ramadan some people won't be eating lunch.
apart from work, we could also experience some senegal (or rather dakar, i should say). a nice sunday night at Musa's drinking extremely sweet tea and listening to religious chants in front of his house in medina. we could see how dirty and shabby are some parts of the city and how rich and fancy are the others. but that's normal. dakar is just really interesting and often very beautiful, esp. the fishing boats in the afternoon.
i've managed also to pay a visit to the ambassador of poland in senegal in the brand-new-and-shiny embassy. he is a really interesting and welcoming person i hope it's not the end of our contact!
after having visited our interns, another NGO and the city center, we went back to the hotel to get ready for the plane... it started innocently with high humidity during the day and some clouds in the evening. then it developed into a full-fledged storm with lightnings shooting one after another and a torrential rain. we had to take our shoes off to be able to cross a huge paddle of mud that separated the hotel from the taxi. a good end of such an amazing trip :)
