Hello! I'm moving to Dar in July -03 with my wife and son (4,5 years old then). I'd like to get in touch with fellow Scandinavians (especially ones with kids) living and working there - and why not other Europeans, Americans or Tanzanians as well! I'd also like to find some useful info (links, books, organizations, etc.) to help us getting organized once in Tanzania. For example, we'll need a used 4x4; does anyone have first hand experience of buying (or importing and registering) a car in Tanzania, used car prices and service, general road and driving conditions and so on? What about local Internet operators - availability, quality of phone lines, broadband or dial-up, prices and service?
If you've been there and done that, please share your wisdom! I'd be thrilled to have people to meet and talk to once we get there!
BTW, we're from Finland, but I'll be more than happy to find some Swedes in TZ as well - svar även på svenska!
