African Adventure

It felt like reading a small part of a book to a new land (Tanzania)

2 things:
1- The common 3 bowl washing technique for cleaning dishes outside (though I wouldn't us washing up liquid but maybe in Africa and in the heat you have to)

2- Maasai village visit reminds me that Masai are being displaced right now / driven off lands

-----------------------------
1-"The first bowl contains washing up liquid and purified water, the second contains water and Dettol, and the third bowl is plain purified water to rinse off the disinfectant.

After washing, the crockery needs drying, but we don’t use dish clothes which are prone to harbouring bacteria. We stand there and “flap” until the crockery is dry."

2- Maasai lifestyle... We learned a lot about the Maasai lifestyle and history, and it was all very interesting. The Maasais are polygamous, with men having more than one wife, but a man has to provide a dowry of cattle to a woman’s family before he can take her as a wife. Hence, the more wives a man has the richer he is, as cattle are a form of currency in the Maasai culture.
