Muistojeni Afrikka
... enemmänkin voi olla), joten ihan pienestä alueesta ei ole kyse. Osa siitä on nykyisin siistin näköistä lähiötä ostoskeskuksineen päivineen, osa yhä täyttä slummia aaltopeltihökkeleineen. Kun tähän vielä lisätään jokusen miljonäärin (randeissa miljardöörin) kartanot, niin kontrastia riittää.
Eilen vaeltelin alueella ihan itsekseni, sekä täydensin vähän varusteita (Afrikka ei ole kohdellut varusteita lempeästi). Alue on melkoisen sokkeloinen, joten ...

The local populations seem to have little interest and mostly lack the financial means to travel, though I've definitely noticed that the younger folk we spoke to had a ...
"Thank you for visiting my office"
... toilets. As I walked in there was a young man standing there who grinned widely and said "Welcome to my office"!!! As I left he grinned widely again and said "Thank you for visiting my office". He was clearly hoping for a tip but sadly I hadn't taken my handbag in with me. Weird!! Then we headed back for an early night as we were both absolutely shattered. (Discovered I forgot to pack the lead that connects my camera to the laptop so can't add photos at the moment, I'm ...
