Four weeks can really pass by quickly. In one way it feels like we just arrived, and everything was new and very different. Yet now, I feel like home, and don't want to leave. So these days I'm unwinding at Zanzibar's white beaches prosponing my return home.
But it`s also weird beeing here among tourists and palm trees. The first evening at a restaurant I was suddenly surronded by several people standing up taking pictures of the sunset. I was perplexed. This is such a different world than the one we've been working in for the last month. Somehow this one feels more artificial.
Also I noticed something was missing. The video camera, which has been like an extra part of my body is no longer with me. Now it's back in Norway, as is most of the AIM delegation.
It's going to take time to get used to it. That is something I have learned while beeing in Africa - here, things takes time! But the patience I`ve had to develop I'm taking with me home, because editing 35 hours of material down to one will be a timeconsuming job. But I promise you now: The DVD can be ordered in time for christmas!
