| Dallah-dallah in Arusha town with the door-man sticking out the window. |
Went to Arusha town yesterday. Rode a dallah-dallah to get there, which was sooo different and exciting at the same time. It is basically a large van that get's packed with people to get from one place to another. They make stops like buses do and people cram as close as they can get to each other to make room for another body. A van that could comfortably fit 11-12 people in it usually always has no less than 15 and up to around 22 people + a driver and door man who whistles to get the attention of potential riders and communicates with the driver by hand taps on the side of the van. The town itself was NOT what I was expecting...once again. It's a lot smaller than I had thought, not as built up as I had envisioned, basically like a small village but magnified and with more people and a TON of street sellers. So many people on the street selling really cheap looking stuff that was probably imported here just so some Tanzanians can make some money: clothes, locks, movies, computer stuff, childrens toys, a lot of shoes, handbags, etc.
Had money converted into Tanzanian shillings (Tsh) $1=1500Tsh £1=2500Tsh
