Firstly, it’s friggin hot. Africa hot hot Mr. Bigglesworth.
It’s 43 degrees C today – that’s a wopping 112F. But it’s ok, because there’s
air condition. Oh, and the other good news is that on a scale of Juba to 10, the
Khartoum airport is a solid 7.5. None of the crazy of Juba airport. The Sudanese scrum is not there.
I get why Juba is so
petulant. It has none of the infrastrure of this place. Khartoum is fairly
modern, power grid. Also the food is pretty good – very Arab influence, so lots
of good bread, olives and feta.
I arrived at the ARC office/guest house, which is a four
story building with 24 hour electricity and most importantly, air conditioning.
Seriously, I would not survive without it. I just washed some dishes with
burning hot water that came out of the cold tap.
