Okay, now back to mtaa wa Samora. A few weeks ago I gave you a short history of this Tz's main street, Samora, and where it got its name from.
Both sides of Samora are filled with nice buildings, nice pavements, nice restaurants, plenty of Bureau De Change, Plenty of offices and businesses, lots of expensive stores, lots of tourists, lots of cars and even a few "Machinga."
Its fascinating to walk inside Samora. It feels suddenly like you are in a different world. Everybody looks well dressed, walk a little faster than usual, looks busier than necessary, speak as little swahili as possible, speak more english than needed, act more businesslike than they are, the list can go on...
It all starts at the entrance of Samora, around stesheni, if you're coming from that side. All you do is stop and sit down at a shoe shine place, cool off (Dar is about 90 degrees always), get your shoes shined, try to refresh a bit, take a deep breath, GO...
