The cool season is upon us--have been enjoying the mild weather back here in Maputo for the past week and a half. This morning, one of my last in the city, I was going to capture some video of the tree-lined streets and the nice sea views we get on the way to the office, but ended up spending most of the time chatting up Jaime, one of the TechnoServe drivers. A good thing, though, because Jaime's had a really fascinating life in Mozambique. This clip definitely doesn't do justice, but still I think some interesting bits to check out:
As you hopefully could make out, Jaime has seen a lot of change in his country. Originally from Xai Xai, in the Gaza province just north of Maputo...Jaime was a young man during colonial times, he fought in the Revolution, he lived through the years of civil war, and since he's found work in South Africa--and thankfully for TechnoServe--in Maputo as well where he's been now for 8 years. When I asked him if it's relatively stable in the country nowadays...you could tell he was thinking "well, yeah maybe to outsiders...but on the other hand there's still some tension under the surface and you never know when things could break down"...which I guess can appreciate better now having lived here a couple months. Still, it's fair to say Mozambique has made a lot of progress on political stability, especially when you compare to some of its neighbors like Zimbabwe where things are really pretty troubling right now.

We hit it off from the very beginning and have been together ever since, with no signs
of our love and passion for video games ever fading. Your best bet is to choose a video card
that is just one or two steps down from the number one card now.

All these lead to inculcating habits such as a proactive nature, trying to work out
the best and effective solution to problems,
thrift, helps to eradicate lethargy, and negativism, for not just the spouses, but also for
the children. Then decide on the age factor of the lawyer if
you want someone who is about your own age group or if you think a senior counsel
would be better suited for your case. If they know they cannot get a rise out of you they will continue until they do, but if you change the subject
they will get the hint that you are not interested in debating.
