Tanzania to host International Trade Expo

March 9, 2007 in Africa, Business | 1 comment

[Dar es Salaam, Tanzania]
AFTER voraciously reading the articles in The Guardian newspaper that I purchased yesterday, I see an enticing advertisement that looks something like this:

East Africa Int’l. Trade Expo
2007 9-12 MARCH, 11 AM – 7 PM
DIAMOND JUBILEE HALL, DAR-ES-SALAAM
Visit the multiple products trade show featuring participants from 24 countries
MED EXPO (Medical & Health)
BUILDING EXPO (Building & Interiors)
ITEL EXPO (IT, Tel & Electronics)
AUTO EXPO (Auto & Spare Parts)
INDCON (Consumer & Industrial)
FOOD EXPO (Food, Kitchen & Hotel)
Info: EXPOGROUP Tel: 0757111552 Email: inq@expogr.com Web: www.expogr.com

Without any hesitation, I quickly called the telephone number above to find out more information. To my pleasant surprise, there were no admission fees whatsoever. This should make it a whole lot easier to convince my friends and their kids to tag along. Most importantly, I decided to attend said event and cover it as a Go Africa go! blogger since this is exactly the type of topical business material that I’m looking for. After all, there’ll be excellent business opportunities on display, and I wanted to get the scoop.

Could one involve hemp? :-)

Stay tuned!

Happy New Year

I’m back
Wow, I’ve taken like 90 days off because I was busy doing some IT work at a Zanzibar hotel. Also, I was just tired from writing even though I had a ton of interesting IT topics to write about. So, my brain was cranking out kool topics, but my fingers just didn’t feel like typing a god damn thing. They (my fingers) sound like a new wifey, eh?? Ha ha ha. Well, stay tuned for some more enticing articles in the always changing (and crazy) world of IT.

Oh…
BTW, greetings from beautiful Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) everyone. I’m visiting the family of my good pal Zahida (she was a roommate of mine for a summer in Bayfield Hall at The University of Wesern Ontario, and now a dear, long time friend) who currently resides in Montreal – my favourite party city. Well, it’s a toss up with Toronto. :-) Any how, Dar rocks like no other city I’ve visited in Africa so far. In fact, I wish I came here first. For starters, I walked all over the damn city during the first 4 days when I arrived and feel that I know it really well. I just loooove hanging out around the Samora Ave, Morogoro Ave., Bibi Titi Mohamed Rd, Nkrumah St., Sokoine Dr. areas. Ditto for the Kariakoo market area which has tons and tons and tons of small shops and what not. In fact, I live in said market. It’s a lively area that’s also safe as hell…unlike one city in another country North of Tanzania that sometimes goes by the name of *laughs* Nairoberry. Heck, I havent even visited Coco Beach with my friend’s kids yet. I hear it’s a blast to be on the weekends…right next to the Indian Ocean.

Any how, I’ll write more about my love affair with Tanzania later. I gotta jet as I’m using the Internet cafe up at the beautifully spectacular campus of the University of Dar es Saleem. This campus is so well laid out, and did I mention how beautiful it is??

Later!
