This is a list of all crazy things that we saw/smell etc here. When I will see/smell something thats strangs I will put it at the list.
- They can do nothing for hours. Just sitting and doing nothing
- They wear some kind of fish nets (it was a small trend in Holland a couple of years ago)
- The material of those nets, is what they use to wash themselves.
- They have their phone 24/7 on and calling with it, even they don't have a lot of money. They think it's strange to let our phones at the guesthouse.
- The condition of the bushtaxi or the normal taxi are absurt bad! It is a challenge to ride with them on those roads they have here.
- The roads are sooo bad, you can't imagine. If it had been raining its all mud (mum, prepare yourself! It is dirty here!).
- They like loud music, always. Or the TV and the radio are at the same time on. But it's always load.
- They eat in like 2 minutes. it seems that they learn that at their homes. They eat with their family from one plate, so the one who eats the fastest, get the most. They don't wait till everybody is finished, so talking about their day isn't an option.
- men are walking hand in hand on the street. why is for my a big question
- People are talking very load en all in one time. Its crazy, especially on the market.
- Everybody sais hi to us, I think it is because we're whit, because some people aren't selling anything, and are just nieuwsgierig.
- men are wearing mutsen, even when it is so hot.
- some women painting their eyebrows purple.
