It's looking like my research will be combined with a larger study conducted by BU-IED. This may mean things take longer to get going as it's a big project. Still, hoping at least to get out of the office for some preliminary informal interviews and to talk to other researchers a bit, and to start thinking about study sites. The BU-IED survey will cover around 2000 households in 4 slums. One of them will be the huge Karail slum mentioned below.
In the meantime, more photos of unsafe construction sites and everyday life...
We found this tarantula on the kitchen wall and decided to leave it there, in the hope that it will catch some of the mosquitos. To be honest though it seems better equipped for small mammals. It doesn't bother with a web, preferring to wait for something worth jumping on.
There are also a couple of camera-shy geckos which we hope won't get eaten by the spider.
Me outside the flat, trying to hear the mobile over the traffic noise.
Kids playing in the (somewhat unclean) lake near Karail.
