Ready?

Well, almost! I am nearly done packing, although, it's quite hard finding clothes to wear nowadays...

Things I ought not to forget:

Malaria

I remembered that I didn't speak much about this... It's a parasite transmitted via mosquito bites. Those mosquitoes only go out at night. There are no effective vaccines yet, although medication, like Malarone, can prevent it. It's quite expensive, so it's better to have an health insurance.

Mosquito repellents with DEET work fine and it's also a good idea to sleep with a net around the bed.

Finally, visa for Rwanda

I finally got my visa for Rwanda, although  there was a few bump on the road. So now I have all my visas. I have all the things I need and maybe a bit more. All is left to do is pack!

New kirundi words and expressions

I found a pad where I wrote some interesting expressions last year and the year before that. I also have been adding some word over the last weeks. Kirundi

EDIT : I added some words in Swahili

Vaccines!

Got my vaccines today! Meningitis, Yellow Fever, Polio-Tetanos-Diphteria and Hepatitis A. What's left now, is to take orally the one against Typhoid Fever. I didn't have to take the one against Hepatitis B because it is good for life and I found the proof that I already got it. I also have a prescription for Malarone, a medicine against malaria.

The cost of the vaccines... 440$! Fortunately, I have an insurance that will cover all the cost.
