I will miss...

I have no words to describe how I feel right now, so I have shamelessly copied (word for word) Andrea's team blog entry from the IBM CSC site. The entry started with just myself and Andrea contributing to this... until we can't help but get everyone else to type in their answers!

(this is a team blog, me Christine, Nitish, Sally, Colleen, Hiroya, Rodrigo, and Gloria .. Chris …is gone already … )

I will miss ...

(Christine): Wali and Kuku .. with Pili pili,
(Andrea): ...and me Ugali Kuku, with Casawa ...
(C.): the kids at the Orphanage
(A.): I'll miss very much Eastern Africa again, the smells, the sounds, the sky in the day, the night sky with different stars system
(C.): Going home with the sun still up and continuing to work by the pool at the lodge
(A.): My Tanzanian friends, colleagues, waiter/waitress, Maasai and non … they’re way to great you, to shake hands, to smile, to see life with a continuous powerful hope …
(C.): Talking about how our day went while playing cards
(Colleen): I will miss the friendship more than anything else…
Laughter – I laughed every day with this team – and learned so very much
And finally – I will miss the pole pole attitude and the organized insanity.

And… Hakuna Matata, peacefull, teams diversity and Via Via (Great Times !).
Opps, also, losing at cards.
(Gloria): I will miss all of my wonderful new friends, including the children at the orphanage, stimulating conversations everyday, the magnificent natural beauty of Tanzania, learning something new and interesting everyday, and all of the delicious meals that I have not had to prepare or clean up afterwards. An experience that I shall always cherish with fondest memories!
