The return of Umeme

So umeme (electricity) has return to my humble abode in TZ. Humble is not really a good description as my abode rocks. I spent Independence Day and Eid going to the local market in Ikuti, talking to the bibis (grandmas) at the sokoni (market), visiting jirani (neighbors) in my flat complex, learning Swahili, and visiting a co-worker's home. Most of the teachers here have gone to mark exams so I am left here all by my lonesome. I found that Ikuti has nice cheap produce but for alot of produce the markets in Uyole is much bigger and cheaper. Parachichis (avocados) are cheap here but nazi (coconuts) are expensive compared to Morogoro.
