Wazungus, three stories above in a nice hotel named "Africa House" seperated from the culture and enjoying alcholic beverages. This is what happens when tourism is the biggest part of a country's economy. It dictates and changes places that are conservative muslims where women are suppose to wear Bui BUi into an enviroment catered to a culture that is unacceptable.Andre and I were the only non whites in this space which is guarded by an african guard that probably wouldn't have let us in until he heard our english and figured we weren't just natives try to beg or something. This is a beautiful veiw though. I hope that we get to the point that we can exchange cultures without the stigma of one culture over powering and over shadowing the "smaller" cultures. |
