A life in Zambia

It has been more than a month since I came to Lusaka, Zambia.
I am enjoying my life here so far and am excited to work as a planner for Lusaka Province starting this Tuesday!

The thing that I am enjoying the most in this country is to talk to people here.
People here are generally nice and kind.
Most of them seem to like talking to people on the street.
As soon as they find out that I am Japanese, they start saying something in Japanese, such as konnichiwa, genki deuska, etc.
They also like it a lot when I try to use Nyanja :)

The food here is very good, too.
Their staple food is called nshima.
It looks like mashed potato but is made from ground corn flour instead.
They eat it with meat (chicken, beef, fish, etc) and some vegetables.
So far, I have tried nshima with chicken and fish (bream).
They were awesome!
