Very interesting read. Thanks for your perspective. The bit about technology, in particular SMS being the medium of choice is surprising to me. You should tell us more about what you did, and your opinions about the experience. Thanks! Wow. Very interesting read. Thanks for your perspective.

Recently I listened to Nathan Eagle from MIT speak about his studies of African mobile usage. http://web.media.mit.edu/~nathan/ Also ... Bit of trivia from Wikipedia. 1) Arusha is also the Hindi name for the rising sun. 2) Arusha's clock tower is supposedly situated at the midpoint between Cairo and Cape Town Great stuff – the market in SIM cards, and prevalence of texting is fascinating.

That's so funny about the Liberals shirt! I'm just pondering how it ended up on the other side of the world. You should've chatted Canadian politics with him, and see if he understood :) Also, I guess this proves that mobile phones are really getting adopted quickly in third world countries!
