Fajara

After my first few days here, everything seems to be going well. My address is

Alex Aiken
c/o Bacterial Diseases Office
MacGregor Building
MRC Site
Fajara
Gambia

Things seem well set up at the MRC and only drawback is that the internet access is highly controlled, in an attempt to prevent people from spending too much time surfing the web ... So I'm writing all this from a internet cafe-cum-bookshop called Timbooktoo (groan) in the nearest town. It's going to be a bit tricky to put photos up as this has a rather slow bandwidth... . The bookshop is great : lots contemporary African literature and interesting local stuff.
