The 1000 Day Holiday

I was on a bus in Kigali the other day with Irene a local.

One of the guys sitting ahead of us said something in Kinyarwanda (the local language) that neither of us understood, apart from he included the word mzungu (white person, ala me). everyone laughed and turned around and looked at me.

A girl sitting close to us asked Irene if she uinderstood what was said. She didn’t so she translated for us.

“Times must be bad, because even the white guy has to take the bus”

Quite funny really. It would be interesting to find out their impressions of western countries and how people live.
