A backpack FULL of cash
Entry 4 of 5 | show all | print this entry |
Our number one task for Lilongwe, was to get our money to pay for the well in Monsanto. In order to get the money into the country we tried to deal directly with sending it to a local bank. Upon arrival we learn that American bank has never heard of the Malawian bank, that was reassuring. Plan B Western Union, they really are everywhere. Walk in no problem, cut to front of the line of people who work all week and get a minuscule little wad of bills to make it through, great, secret code is approved and don't I feel like I know what I am doing. I should have realized something was wrong when I saw the cart. Now having more money then can comfortably carried sounds like one of the better problems to have, it is non the less rather unnerving out there all alone. But at least I can say that I have brought a bank to a complete standstill, you could hear a pin drop. I barrow Lucky's bag and it is just large big enough to walk out of the bank with every pair of eyes fallowing me.
