Walking Closet

The town I stayed was only 20 minutes from Arusha which is one of the main cities in Tanzania. Many of the non-profit organizations, such as United Nations and World Vision, and tour operators have their offices here. Overall, the living standard here is much better than the rest of the country. The pleasant weather and good rainfall also help.

People here are quite entrepreneural. Many who cannot afford to open their own stores would walk around with their merchandise on them, literally. So you see mobile stores everywhere - women with fruits on their heads, men with candies in wooden boxes in their hands, even those with goods hanging all over their bodies to maximize the "store real estate". I couldn't resist it when I saw a man carrying clothing with hangers over his head, arms and chest so I named him the "Walking Closet".
