But, where am I going exactly?

I'll shortly give an introduction about Zambia.
So you all know, 'where' and 'how' and 'what'.


Some basic information:

Offical language: English
Capital city: Lusaka
Population: 13.881.336 (July 2011)
Monetary unit: kwacha
Time difference: + 1
Dialects: more than 43

Religion: 50-75% Christian, 24-49% Islam and Hindu.

Zambia (offcially: Republic of Zambia) is a republic in the south of Central-Africa. The surface is 752.614 km², and that makes Zambia about 25 times larger than Belgium.  




Zambia is completely surrounded by other countries and it's located between Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, NamibiĆ« and Angola.

The city where I will stay is Kabwe and is located 150 kilometre, or 2 hours, to the north from Lusaka. It is the capital city of the district 'central' in Zambia. In 2000 there were living 176.758 people in Kabwe.


These are all facts, next week around this time I will be getting on the plane, and then I'll tell you everything about the non factual Zambia!
