Welcome to Tanzania

Notice that the sign is on a Clear Channel board…
So we’re here in Tanzania. Funny thing at the airport… they make all the people waiting on the arriving international flights stand outside of the airport and it was kinda funny to see like 300+ people crowded less than 10 feet from the door just staring and blowing their hot breath on the glass, fogging it up so that in the end, no one saw anything. Funny.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that for this to be a third world, developing country, the cellular phone companies advertise very heavily in Africa. You can’t go anywhere without seeing a logo or advertisment (I am not exaggerating). I found this to be a bit odd… but more on that in a later post.
Anyways, we’re staying in a place called Dar Es Salam, and they’re celebrating 45 years of Independence here. Check out some pics of some of the things I’ve seen:
It rained really bad here Sunday night. It flooded a lot of the streets because there are many really large holes in the street. A four wheel drive SUV is an absolute must here!
