Went
to Kunduchi beach today. Had my first ride in Bajaj. It's like a
tricycle? Motorbike with seats in the back? Oh just google it.
'Crazy' sounds too cliché but it is literally the only word to
describe this experience. As I mentioned, drivers here are probably
the best drivers in the world. You western
europeans
with your fancy 'park assist' can go fukk yourself. Even crazier was
the way back from the beach using local transport called DALA DALA.
They''re using mini buses imported from Japan that used to work as
school buses (de facto most of the cars here are imported from Japan,
since they offer the best deals for cars with a steering wheel on the
right – Tanzania or Tanganika back then used to be a British
colony thus they drive on the left and have the same electricity
plugs). A single ticket costs $400 Tsh (about $0.25 USD).
It's
pretty cheap here. I mostly eat at local places, where the locals
eat. It's cheap and really good. There isn't much variety though.
Mostly rice, ugali (kind of a corn flour puree), chicken and beef.
I
had my first day working on the project today. Vicente and I were
teaching business in a local community college.
