Vijayadashami festival with BanBat

Last sunday - the 17th - all the UNMOs and other staff in camp was invited to Bangladesh Battalion to celebrate Vijayadashami; a celebration of goods victory over evil. It was, in a word, awesome. Great entertainment, both from a local school for teachers and the members of BanBat, great food (who don't love the spicy food from the sub-continent?) and fun people to talk to.

The BanBat commander also took the opportunity to wish the five(!) UNMOs that have end of mission in a few weeks a safe trip home.

Entertainment by BanBat.

Whats this then?

Simply put; it's my blog.

Less simply put; it's a simple way for me to communicate with family and friends while I'm in Sudan, working as an UNMO.

In addition to the actual blog, I've written a couple of pages on Sudan, UNMIS and what an UNMO is supposed to do. Also, I've put in a couple of news bars (courtesy of Google), a few handy links and a couple of other useful items on here.

You can also explore the archives - not only do they cover my time in Sudan, but also the training leading up to it.

Since my Tour of Duty finished in mid September 2011, this blog is now on hiatus until further notice; ie until my next deployment to South Sudan.
