"hey kingpins, even pluto was once a planet…!"

or so goes power relations in rwanda. i was apprised that EVEN powerful ministers can fall afoul and they can too fight their way back, but with the appropriate apologies and enough contrition.

i like the quote alot since it was reflective of how my time in rwanda has been going. one day i was up, all was well; next day, calls to present in the big offices of kigali, hat-in-hand, tail-between-legs, etc, etc. they even went so far as to ask me not to blog and blocked my access from my personal wireless modem which was registered with a local company. when i went to the offices of that company to ask what gives on my internet connection, the guy helping me looked at my file and said, ‘ah, you’re the one’. i left it at that.

but the block on my access hasn’t been a block on my writing. i’ll start re-posting when i get back to canada.
