Story about a failed attempt at setting up a satellite dish in remote Malian village of Teberemt deep in the Sahel region. How a bunch of local young guns and a toubab had a go at setting it up in a place without electricity nor with a help from anybody having at least a slightest clue about setting such a dish up. Drying up emergency car battery along the way to failing miserably.

An apology, sort of, I guess…

Ermmm, I don’t know how to put this. An apology is needed I guess. To you my readers. See while I was travelling many things happened to me and some of those I’ve shared with you. Some stayed in my head waiting to see the light of this diary. Some I thought I would not share for various reasons. And some that were in the making, drafts so to speak, but never made it to you. Which is a shame. Especially because the only reason for the latter was I came back home and was overwhelmed with other events, people, projects and ideas. Getting back into daily routine. So, maybe, eeerm, those road stories of mine were left lurking in the darker parts of my head waiting and hoping for better times. And it looks like now, 10 months after the coming back home, might be the time for them to resurface.
Teberemt, finally…

Enjoying the quiet life without electricity, running water or phone network in small Tuareg village of Teberemt deep in Malian bush near Burkina Faso’s border.
