ramadhan kareem!

To all our Muslim brothers and sisters!

My fellow blog author, aka akon2, is fasting this month and will most likely be fairly quiet with regards to telling us stories about Sudan.

I think its quite fitting too, that I am finally back in Juba after a few months hiatus. Got in yesterday to start a new job, and are staying at 'New York hotel'- where you pay an arm and a leg to live in a refitted container.  what can i say?

In the 3 months i've been away they have built several multi-storied buildings... which kind of worries me because it seems contractors in this country don't worry too much about quality...3 months is too short a time for even the foundation to set in (i think), let alone put up 5+ stories. So, while I am looking for housing, i will not be trying to live in or even close to some of these buildings and especially because there is no oversight from a quality assurance agency.
