First day in Malawi

This time the first impression was of course different than the last time I came here. But I remember that I was so surprise that there is no feeling of a big capital in Lilongwe. It is more the feeling of a big village.

The Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe is the smallest airport I have ever seen at least if we are talking about international airports. You can't see any planes except for a few small once.

When arriving you have to show your yellow fever card. Then you walk 10 meters to the passport control another 20 meters to pick up your bags and another 30 meters you are out.

I’m staying at a hotel the first week so I have the feeling that this is only another trip to Africa and I will soon be back home again. On the other hand I’m longing to move into my new house and to have the feeling of being home. But for now I’m enjoying walking on the red African soil again.

This is a dream come true. A few years back I could've never imagine that I would end up in Africa someday. For a long time I have wanted to work abroad and I can’t really take in that this dream has now become true.
