To shop or to eat...???

On our last day of Kiiswahili class, we decided to go out for lunch after class. We went to a local restaurant for Tanzanian food and a chance to practice our language skills. There isn't much to report about the meal itself, but I thought the shopping that was accomplished while waiting for our meal was quite impressive...

Imee is buying a bug zapper....

and she is very happy with her purchase!!!

Notice the variety of items that can be purchased from this one individual...hangers, pillows, soccer balls, bug zappers....

This was the restaurant's knife-sharpening service. It's a bit hard to see, but the guy is essentially riding a stationary bike that rotates the wheel that he sharpens the knife on.
