Moving on ....
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the posts and emails it is so nice to hear from everyone. Well the big day has almost arrived tomorrow I will be heading for Dessie - my placement, I am very excited. There is some political trouble here and up until yesterday morning we thought we would be stuck in Addis all week but thankfully for the first time in Ethiopia's history they managed to slove the problems peacefully so hopefully that will bode well for the future people here are very relieved.
So we can go to our placements so tonight will be our last night together as a group - the group is really great so while it is sad to split up it is still great to be going and we will be all back to gether for a HIV seminar in November and Christmas conference in December, to be honest I am glad to get away from Addis and all the smoke and smells. We met the Physics lecturer from our college last week and he seems really nice, the college seem to be doing great work so I hope we can keep it going.
I have to admit I went to the Sheraton Hotel for dinner on Saturday it would be luxurious by any standards but here it is like disney world but it was nice to be back in semi normality for a few hours - we wont have such comforts in Dessie but hey...
Anyway take care and I will post when I have news of Dessie and my job.

Hi Orla delighted to hear things are still going so well. You will have to give us some more sayings in the local dialect it would be interesting to learn some. Everyone here is grand we are actually very dull compared to yourself. Swords is the very same as you left it although I would imagine your school is missing you. Emma's car failed the NCT on 16 points so it might be on its last leg. What is the weather there like is it very warm? Great news about Eithne. Well nothing exciting to tell will send another message soon.
Love Eileen X
