Dean is scheduled to be in Zambia for another year. He might move to Kitwe in 3 months to work on a brewery or something. He hasn't really met anyone there yet and is a bit stuck for transport on the weekends so he is still feeling a bit homesick. Judging by your pics there is tons to do there so I guess he'll get out and about soon.
Time flies - I was there for a year and at the beginning I though jees how will I survive it. Before I knew it, the time was up and I needed to start packing.
There are tons to do, and talking to other expat one gets to know the area a little and stuff to do.
Kitwe - that is great. I think he will have jol there. Close to the airport, lots of expats and everything is more accessible.
Without transport it will be difficult - then it will be all work and no play. We were lucky and had a company vehicle. 4 Guys shared it but we managed.
Surely WBHO will have a couple of 'site bakkies'?
