Shave and a TV visit


I enjoy the finest in Shaving and we visit ITV.

We began the day with shave in Dar. Hanif billed it as a must-have experience and it lived up to the expections. It was the closest any one has ever put a razor to my neck. It’s more of a practice of trust than I expected. It was very luxurious once I settled in.


Don't sneeze, don't sneeze, don't sneeze...


Of course, Chantal turned it into a Photo Op.

From there we visited ITV for a tour. More than a TV station, ITV is a media conglomerate. They have one of the largest Tanzanian websites, darhotwired.com, 2 TV stations, 4 Radio Stations, and newpapers. While still building, they are one of the most progressive media organizations I’ve seen so far. We met their designers, engineers, and developers. It was very exciting to see what was happening here. Lema, head of IT for the group, was really on the ball with both technical understanding and managerial skills. He invited us to come the next day for a presentation for the creative staff.

I came all the way to Africa to see LA Law Re-runs! I was told, however, that 60% of the content is local.
