Odd Observations

Today the team spent the day at the warehouse. The team here does an amazing job keeping track of everything received and where it goes for use. It makes my job much easier when everyone does their job so well!

As we spent most of the day in the office, not much to share about the local area. Lusaka is a very busy place. The warehouse is in the Africa equivalent of an industrial park. There are small factories for many industries from tires to grain production.

A few odd observations…. In many of the places I’ve been, I’ve noticed the doorknobs seem awfully high, and Zambia is one of those places. I measured tonight. The doorknobs for all doors in my room stand 49 inches from the ground. For someone who’s only 5’4”, that’s pretty tall. The bathtubs also seem to be made for giants. The edge of the tub stands 22” from the floor. That’s quite high! You almost need stairs to get into the shower. I’ve been trying to figure out why this is, but can’t come up with any logical reason why everything would be made for really tall people. Just one of those random things I wonder about I guess.
Tomorrow we leave for northern Zambia. Should be an interesting visit. Hopefully I will be able to connect from there. If not, I’ll post when I return to Lusaka next week!
