1. A motorcycle drove past me, with a passenger. The driver was very busy chatting on his cell phone.
2. A minibus, filled with passengers, was moving very slowly at the side of the road. As I passed by, I realized one young man was pushing the bus from behind.
3. A building with one relatively small tree I front, and otherwise devoid of vegetation, with a sign: Treetop School and Nursery
4. A storefront with the sign ‘Pizza Hut’. Clearly not the same chain.
5. A man facing a wall, on a Main Street, with a stream of liquid splashing on the wall.
6. On a hedgerow around the Burundi Bureau of Tourism, several articles of clothing laid out to dry after laundering.
7. A young lady wearing a heavy red wool cap and scarf
8. A parade of cars adorned with bows… A wedding
9. A young man wearing a clearly recycled t-Shirt with the graphic ‘Class of 64’
10. This last one is not for the walk, but at home: the power has come and off about 50 times this evening! Eventually I deduce from Hilliare’s fiddling with power cords, that there is something wrong in this unit. With most of the lights turned off, it is no longer turning off and on.
Maybe it's the original pizza "hut"! Do they know they could sue for copyright violation?
ReplyDeleteOur best shirt sighting (#9) were "Alberta Juvenile Basketball" and "Joe Fresh". Felt like home.
ReplyDeleteYou'll have a culture shock of your own when you return home. Sounds so different there! I love the image of a young fellow pushing the minibus and the laundry strewn in front of tourism office. How's the heat? Are you melting? Dry heat or high humidity?
ReplyDelete@Evelyn... I could likely delete them if I had time.. found a real linternet access cafe with FAST time! Wow.
ReplyDelete@Sherri... managing the heat, it is never unbearable. Pretty consistently 30ish. Not higher. Not much lower.
