I thought it high time for some non serious- no brainer photos. haven't posted a good photo in a while- probably cos they take so long to upload! so here's some stuff I thought worth photographing...but not worth a blog entry all to themselves :)
My village dishwasher - unfortunately doesn'twork so well for the outside of the pots.
I got my hair braided for a party. OUCH!!!! - for a super mullet from hell- why would you? -is all I can say for that. It stayed in 12 hrs exactly.
I took a visitor to Monkey Bay to catch the Ilala Ferry up the lake. I had no idea there was a full (mini) industrial port there! with all the locals washing their clothes and bathing right next to it of course!
Super size Ugali
I really like this photo. Not sure why. Maybe cos the red is pretty? cos it's so symbolic of the sheer amount of soft drinks consumed here. Or maybe the juxtaposition of the multibillion dollar? company as a back drop to the lady selling donuts for a return of $1.30/day if she manages to sell them all. or maybe it somehow captures that it can actually get cold here...sometimes.
More boats and another port- but this time of a different nature. Along the shores of Lake Chilewa the fishermen have cut a channel through the thick reads- all the way out to deeper water. Boats in every state of disrepair litter the shallows. I love it.

the photo of the two guys outside the red boxes would be great to paint! Can I have permission to do that one day? Actually, I'd need you to email me the original if thats ok? For some reason your blog wasn't on my blogroll....tis now! Oh and I had my hair braided in Niger, different sort though, had about 80 small ones in and yes, it hurt A LOT. PS. this links to my old blog as it won't let me put in my own blog url, only a google one (its somewhere in your settings).
