Just to let you know that I finally left Mozambique but not quite in the way I was supposed to (via SA to Malawi) - I just came home. The journey was very tireing, a night bus from Maputo to Johannesburg, there waiting about 17 hours in the airport, then 11 hours flight to London, spent a day in the town and then in the evening, another flight home (just 2,5 hours, but still)... Well, I guess I had bigger emotional and cultural shock going from Mozambique to SA than from Africa to Europe. I guess having spent the last month in the capital Maputo, I wasnt overwhelmed by shopping malls and high streets. It felt nice to be totally 100% anonymous on the street, nobody cares what are you doing, where are you going, how are you, because I am not special anymore!:P
Being back in rather chilly Estonia feels strange, like I never even left. But at the same time, I have almost no attachements here, am just about creating them here and now - job, decorating my room (lol... does that count?), meeting old friends etc... So, this is my last message for the "Mozambique" group, hope you enjoyed the updates and take care! Ate a proxima!
