Today at work we looked at most of the remaining biogas systems that COMPACT has currently built. They seem to work, but aren't not too powerful. Maybe boil some water for tea or 1.5 pieces of meat (one woman said that the second piece of meat she put on after the first one was well done did not get cooked more than halfway through). So there will be some work to do in order to make the systems better.
It's always interesting to see the different farms and how people live. It is quite an experience to stand in the kitchen, testing out the equipment, while looking at the cows peacefully chewing their grass in the adjacent room, separated by a wall with one hole (no window or anything!). The cows probably think the same thing and may wonder why the heck humans are so silly that they need cookers in the first place.
Remember the reunification DVD I was talking about? News travel slower in some parts of the world and today someone asked me "There is East and West Germany, right?" On the other hand he did seem to know the chancellor is female. I can't say that I knew much about Tanzania, either, before I decided to do the thesis here.
Ok, and last but not least a little quiz. The first person to guess the name of the fruit in the picture will get an ice-cream when they get down here! And just for good measure I may exclude people who are seriously planning a trip down here... Anything to prevent a real winner from having to endure the dangers of half-frozen ice cream that is sold by guys on bicycles in the streets. What is ice cream in Swahili? I don't know - the ice cream bicycles say "ice cream" on them!

A jackfruit?
Do they have soy ice cream? =)
Uh, I guess that was too easy, but I was looking for the name in Swahili anyway :)
As for Soy ice cream I have no clue but since you can get a jar of Nutella for only six dollars I assume soy ice cream should be around, too....
