thank you people...

This blog is dedicated to all the people, i met, wrote to, talked to, laughed with, groaned about.. etc, durin my sojourn in Stato. It's been quite an experience, now that i'm on my way home. (sob..)

And i packed this post with pics, being my last from this side of the world.

First up, my bro David.. who sorted out my ticket. I probably wouldn't have come here otherwise. Thanks a tonne.

Thanks Brigid and Carole, my sis's, dropped me at the airport and helped to perk up my financial 'short-comings'.

The Germans we lived with at International house, you guyz are awesome. Martin, Sandra and Christian, aside from the PhD's etc(myself not even having a degree to talk of yet!), u really helped me out in those first cold, blurry days.

Thanks Martin, for wakin me at 5 in the morn and not gettin mad when, against my better judgement, it took me another hour to get out of bed and into the hospital. Oh' those early mornings.. biting cold, driving wind, drowsy mind..
Remember the annoying little green notices, on the wall and on top of the toilet. "make sure you flush all the way!" - coz we don't flash in our home countries? haha...



<--- A section of the KU Med. Center.







Thanks Dr. Jones, for the patience you had with me when i new not what to do, or where to go. And Dr. Hermreck, Selim and Delcore, for the opportunity to assist in your theatres. "..Retract!!" haha..

Thanks to Natt. For paging me one hundred and forty five times, when i was late or lost, and explaining things when the abbreviations sounded like an alien dialect of English.

Thanks Thad. A very good friend indeed. Always ready to help out a confused international student. The Guessture's game at Jeremy's, that was somethin' else!! haha.. Didn't think i'd meet an American who knew so much about Kenya. Hope you'll visit one day. It's a beautiful place this.

Thanks Clemo', small world, isn't it? The barbeque was deadly, the book as well, no doubt. I might finally decide what to do after med school... I'm waiting to read the headline, "Computers Save Humanity - The HIV breakthrough" hmm.. That angle of science unasoma, iz noma. Holla, when you check into Nai.

Last but certainly not least, thanks to my sis Di and her hubby John. They kept me in the basement away from the neighbours.. haha.. no, just kiddin. They fed and kept me warm for the whole time i was in stato. I couldn't thank you enough. Did i mention the free internet?

And thanks to anyone else i might not have mentioned here, but who made my experience a worthwhile one.

..and i'm expectin' yo'all to write a comment, just unload a thought or 2 that you might have. That's what a blog's all about. The comments link is just after the pics i put below.

Peace,
The WebDoc,
somewhere over the Atlantic.

... here are a few more my Kansas experiences. Enjoy


International Hse.
The posh diggz where we were accomodated.

..what it looks like inside.

And this is me, trying to look intelligent :-), in the Dyke's Library.
Pretty sleek joint!!

me again, on the www. Ever browsed @ speeds of 3mbps+ ? I have!

This is part of the hospital. Didn't take too many pics, long story..

ahh.. the game! Off the wire kabisa. TV does no justice, i'm telling you..

The mascot, like the team, is a 'JayHawk'

The Crowd.. and no, they were not in worship.

.. and of course the ballers. The KU JayHawks are in white.
they did win the game btw!
