• The life of an mzungu (a not so typical one)

  
  :: louder than swahili — Authority: 132
  The life of a mzungu in Dar es Salaam is a challeging one: What moustache and what sun glasses to wear today? To put the fan on 3 or 4 or 5? So many kali cigarettes to be smoken. This mzungu is not a classical one, I can assure that, this one even has one thing in common with Bi Kidudde .

• Tuko pamoja - were in this together...

  
  :: louder than swahili — Authority: 132
  When someone says were in this together I always get a tiny bit paranoid. My friends say this a lot. It is such a convinient phrase to explain why there always is people all over the place; why you have to wait; and why you cannot behave as if youre on your own. Tuko pamoja means that you have to adjust, ...

• Female wazungu in flock

  
  :: louder than swahili — Authority: 132
  Occasionally I have to go to the international clinic in Masaki on the peninsula in Dar es Salaam. Some weeks ago, after having returned from a 10 hours drive, I urgently needed a cure, which would make an infernal mix of stomach cramps, exhaustion and back pain go away.   Two women of my tribe ...

Metaphorically speaking: Not too sure if it symbolises the rest of the NGO I work for . Lakini , personally I do feel that it is more difficult getting the dust off than ...

  :: louder than swahili — Authority: 132
  Look, look. Even me Im dancing like an African. Time stood still in Tanga; A tourist poster from (I assume) the 1970ties is hanging in a window of a tourist tour service in downtown Tanga. Our stomach hurt with laughter. The rest of the day we asked ourselves: But did you see the guy with the skirt? Were ...

• Sauti za Busara versus Mafia Dance Festival

  
  :: louder than swahili — Authority: 132
    I have taken the first photo at this years Sauti za Busara in Stone Town, Zanzibar. a The second is from Mafia Dance Festival  announcing dates for a coming festival in August. Seems like the wazungu go to Mafia, and that people wear clothes on Sauti za Busara. Kweli...(?)! So much more reason to go to ...

• Africa and its control freaks

  
  :: louder than swahili — Authority: 132
  I quite enjoy to look at Africa from a psychological point of view. To just boil it down to people, desires and emotional behaviour. One of my favorites is when an mzungu arrives to the continent, and turns out to be a control freak . According to th Wikipedia, in psychology-related slang, a control freak ...
