There are a tonne of things to miss about life in Toronto. Funnily enough, those reasons elude me thus far. Maybe it is due to the fact that I have been keeping very busy, or, it is because I have all that I "need" here in Maputo.
Here are the things that I have realized I love about Maputo. Some are rather trivial and others are very subtle. [Note: In no particular order].
1) The people are wonderful. I met a fellow name Carlos yesterday and he asked me what I love about Mozambique so far. I responded, "I have not met someone that I do not like"
2) The weather is perfect. The days are warm but not hot. The temperature averages in the mid 20s during the winter months (July to August) and the nights cool off to a comfortable 15 to 20 degrees Celsius.
3) The cellphone service is GSM. That way you can change phones as often as you like if one breaks.
4) The view. From my apartment I can see the Indian Ocean. Within 15 minutes walking I am steps from the beach. There is a park that has some relaxing cafes, restaurants and ice cream parlors.
5) The work / life balance. I am up just before 7am and at my employer by a little after 8am. The commute is a whole 10 minutes. My favourite Indian restaurant is a few short steps away for lunch and I am back home by 5pm. I can cook a decent meal and work out everyday if I like.

It's really inspiring to hear all the things you love about Mozambique and good that you're not complaining about the things you miss in Canada ;) I know it's easy to fall into that when you're away from home for so long... I'm getting more excited to come there, but still no news on a placement. I'll keep you updated.
Please do. I'm so glad you are reading my blog and seeing how I'm doing. The PFC training actually worked!!! lol
Trust me, keep positive and you will have a great time. Satisfaction guaranteed ;)
