I am now into my fourth day of living in Kitwe, Zambia with Henry. My first few days have been a fight to get over jet lag and adjust to a much warmer climate. Although really not that hot (upper 70's mostly), it has come as quite a shock to my system.
Kitwe is the second largest city in Zambia, with a population of about 500,000. In many ways a bustling metropolis and in many ways not. For example, Henry has been told there are under 10 robots (what they call stoplights here) total.
If you are interested in getting a glimpse of the city, you are in luck. Someone filmed themselves driving through the city which you can enjoy here:
In between naps, I have spent a lot of time shopping for things like soap and a cell phone and generally getting situated. I have also had to overcome a lot of very ingrained routines and muscle memory - like getting into the car on the left side when I am not driving or stopping myself from automatically rinsing my toothbrush in the sink (have to use bottled water instead). I expect that to become much easier quite soon.
