new plans
Hi there,
after getting some rest I spend the last days with some administrative tasks.
Blaise came into the city to help me finding a spot in the university hospital of Kigali. Starting from Monday I will work in the department of Gynecology and Obstetrics as a intern doctor, nightshifts included! ☺
(before more people ask: nope, I haven’t completed my studies of medicine. But me and Blaise had a talk with the professor and he was convinced that my knowledge will be sufficient to start in this position… for that I just love the Department of Pathology in Pécs, its really amazing what they taught us there.
Anyways, I organized some reading material about Gynecology to work through)
First thing this morning I went to the clinic to hand over all kind of documents they asked from me. As only some of the doctors and almost none of the patients speak English, I bought an audio course in French and will spend the following days studying it. (My week of speaking Spanish in Uganda pays of here as it got me back in the system of roman language)
My plan for the weekend is to travel with Blaise up to the north of Rwanda to visit his family and the national park “des volcans”. It is the site where Dian Fossey was living with the Gorillas for many years and tourists are invited to track those big apes – for the insane price of 500$!?!
DAMN… but as I red there is a cheaper possibility of Gorilla tracking – how and where I won’t publish before I did it ☺
The rest of the day I will spend searching a better opportunity to live in Kigali, so far I stay in a Hotel and even though they made me quite a good offer for the month I would like to search some cheaper place. (…which isn’t easy as Kigali is a really expensive city)
I am also thinking of visiting the genocide memorial here – but as I know that those things tend to touch me quite intensively I don’t know yet if I should really do it.
…I head of into the city center now to see what the day will bring
