some tanzanian mysteries

where do all the people go when the rains come? Such heavy rain! And where do the bugs go? And how do the hundreds of bugs get into houses that have mozzie screens on all windows and doors???

Shopping... where do tanzanians do their shopping? We've been going to one of the expensive mini supermarkets run by some of the muslims here... but the prices and range are western and not sustainable for everything. Do they shop at markets only? Or do they buy different products from different shops (meat from a meat shop, fruit from the market)... it seems a big mystery of a cultural divide.

kangas... worked out (with Elizabeth's help) that kangas can, in fact, be tied over pregnant bumps... and they tend to be the clothing of choice for funerals (for women).
