Things I learned in Tanzania

8/11

This list is a result of 8 weeks of life in Tanzania's third largest city. Take heed of this knowledge!

1. You can tell the wealth/status of a person by the quality of their teeth
2. Hustle or be hustled
3. How to easily differentiate between people going on a safari and people hiking Kilimanjaro
4. The price you pay is (almost) never the price locals pay
5. If you know Swahili, you are more likely to bargain to a lower price
6. Food made on the street. Just do it.
7. You know someone is new to Africa when they use bottled water to brush their teeth and wash their hands
8. Drivers cannot drive without communicating though using their horn incessantly
9. Electricity is optional
10. Free internet does not mean the internet service actually works

Goodbye, Arusha. Hello, Zanzibar.
