Death begins in your colon ...
by Lillian Dover
'Death Begins In The Colon' was the title of a presentation by Kim Otteby at the Swedish School on the 5th October. There were many of us who learnt how important it is to have a well-functioning and balanced colon. Things to consider are: eating lots of vegetables, drink a lot of water, eat yogurt (which helps a good bacterial balance in the stomach) and exercise.

Fancy a good restaurant? Go to Musuku at Southern Sun Hotel
Musuku Restaurant, at Southern Sun Hotel, Ridgeway, serves a very fresh lunch buffet from 12.30up to 14.30 hours. The buffet is divided in three. One with cold dishes, one with warm dishes and desserts.
Especially the cold dishes and the desserts are in the top end compared to other restaurants in Lusaka. The cold dishes are much more fresh than those you find in places like for example Allianze or Chaminuka. To make sure everything is fresh, they serve on small plates that are changed all the time. You find a lot of fresh veggies prepared with elegance, ham and salami of good quality plus a lot of other nice things.
The warm dishes are ordinary, but have a go on the big variety of desserts. You find things like Crème Caramel and good cakes. The price for the buffet is 130 000 kwacha, more expensive than most Restaurants, but a good alternative when you want to take your partner or friend out for a lunch that just has that little extra.
Food: 8/10
Service: 4/5
Atmosphere: 4/5
