Today was a nice quiet, productive day. I went to school to work, and returned around 4 pm. I realized i needed a few things to grill, so i went down the road to pick up a few items... bad idea.
the soccer game up the road had just let out and the streets were swarmed with people walking home. all traffic rules were violated and I was stuck in traffic for 30 minutes.. I could have walked to the shop, gathered my items and been home ... but there i was stuck in the middle of a road surrounded by people . it got worse as I inched closer to the street light.. which were working today.. that usually doesn't happen as well. Once I finally arrived at the shop I decided to window shop for a little bit as I knew the street crowds were still filing through the streets.. no rush.. I was at "Game", a sort of wal-mart of africa.. the prices of things are so outrageous it is unbelievable. they were selling regular , hard bodied coolers for 100$.. I couldn't believe it.. some items here are so ridiculously expensive, i have no idea who can afford them.. but local fruits and vegetables (which you can buy from street vendors) are extremely affordable.. just can't afford to keep them in a cooler... the video is some of the crown moving down our street.
