Dar Es Salaam

We stayed for three days with two Couch Surfers, Farshi and Ahoo, in Dar Es Salaam. Where else then through CS could two Belgians meet two Iranese youngsters living in Dar. It meant lots of talking and exchanging, about work, life, development, futures and values. Dar was pleasant, nothing more, nothing less. Pretty developped though, and we didn't get hustled too mkuch on the streets, which was a pleasant surprise.We bought a couple of things, including sandals and a lot of tissues, to lay on the beach or dress ourselves with. But mostly we just hung out. Through Farshi and Ahoo, we also met a Canadian qnd his Kenya wife. In a way, it was a bit sad. 

They have a lovely two year old son. He looks reall y interesting, ex-professor and is doing research into death, as on the water or on the road. Very knowledgeable, but also drunk soon and a bit bitter and angry. Afraid his sons get hurt during the night because of witch craft from envious neighbours.  Thinks keny will explode during the next elections and everybody is so angry. It is sad to see how some people turn after they spend a lot of time in Africa. Hope we'll never get to that point.
