We are two electrical engineering students doing our Master's Thesis as a Minor Field Study on small-scale hydro systems in rural Mozambique. This blog is about the adventures we encounter during our ten weeks abroad, but also about the preparation, all good advice we've got and what might just have been time spent sleepless worring about completely unnecessary things.

Dreams of joy

Last week we began taking our malaria prophylaxis. We've heard so many awful stories about taking it that the least we could expected was to wake up and not want to get up from bed. Depression, psychosis, nightmares, all this is what we expected to face.

But so far nothing, not even a dull gray light has shined on our lives. I am even beginning to think that my reaction is the opposite. Today, I've had a few hilarious moments laughing for no reason for 5-10 minutes. Kajsa told me something must be wrong with me and sent me home. Now when I think about it, it might have been the beginning of a cold. I hope not. I mean, I don't really have time to have the flu now, it's just boring and time consuming lying in bed feeling sorry for myself.

And my dreams, so far they have been of giraffes, cats, squids and horses. Nothing too scary if you ask me.

Did I tell you about the French couple we are going to stay at when we get to Maputo? If not, we found a nice couple on couch surfing offering us to rent a room for three weeks! Bingo!

Now, time to get some sleep. I'm hoping for hippos tonight.
