Dodging Ngombe (Cows)

Interesting juxtaposition here. I'm walking from IU House towards downtown and the hospital and I have to get out of the way of herd walking down the street. At the same time, on the left side of the road, you can see something coiled coming out of the ground. What you see is called "innerduct" which is a semi-ridged plastic pipe within which you install the latest and greatest fiber-optic telecommunications cables. So you're seeing the old culture and the world together in this picture. But one more thing... They've been working on that innerduct since before I was last here in Feb. Back home this project would take a couple weeks if the weather was good... And did I mention the weather here? Oh well, TIA, this is Africa, and these things happen at their own pace.
