I'm thinking of applying for a job in East Africa, in Tanzania. B Really? I lived there for two years - I was teaching. It was my first job after university. A Yes, I thought so. I want to ask you about it, if that's OK. B Ofcourse - go ahead. I'll try to remember it all. I was there for two years, but that was ten years ago. A So, what was it like? B Well, it was a great experience. I really would encourage you to apply. I liked everything except the climate. I didn't enjoy working in the heat. A Ah, ves I'm a bit worried about that. Was it really difficult to keep cool? Well, yes it was. And we were on the coast. north of Dar es Salaam and it's really hot and humid there. There was no air conditioning, we just had fans in the classrooms. Where do you hope to be based? A A town called Arusha. Oh, very nice. That's much cooler, inland, near Mount Kilimanjaro. Some friends invited us to stay in Arusha. I'll never forget climbing Kilimanjaro. A Oh, I'd love to do that. Did you manage to go on safari when you were there? B Oh yes, we went to most of the big game parks - you know; like Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater — that was so huge it made me feel small and the wildlife was fantastic. Once, on Serengeti, a whole family of monkeys decided to play on the roof of our car. We didn't dare move. A Which animals did you like best? B Actually, I think it was the giraffes, I loved watching the way they raise their long necks to eat. Oh, and the lions, of course. Do you know that in one of the parks the lions actually climb trees? It was incredible to see them sleeping high up on the branches. A Really? It all sounds so exciting. I'm definitely going to apply for the job. B Give me a call and let me know how you get on. I'm looking forward to hearing all about Read and listen to a conversation between Alistair and Becky. Alistair is applying for a job in East Africa.
