My work in Juba has kept me far too busy to maintain this blog properly, though I hope to catch up a little during my current three week vacation (in Canada!). Here are some random photos I took in my first month and a half in Juba:

To mark the 61st anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Chinese embassy organised a truly amazing talent show with people flown all the way from China for the event, including gymnasts, dancers, musicians, and even a magician who gave me and a friend 10 Sudanese Pounds!
