Nailclippers

Buying nailclippers on the street in Maputo. Just found this. You just have to love China.

I’m on a morning walk on my never ending street that despite its length never runs out of interestingness. People sell everything, everywhere. Vegetables, clothes, electronics, sunglasses, furniture.. whatever you might need. Bought a really good weekend backpack yesterday for 7€ – really starting to get into this street shopping thing. Need a coconut?

Mind the gap

One thing you learn early when living in Maputo is to always watch your step. This hole is 1,5m deep and could easily break a leg if it wanted to. But despite these horrendous sidewalks, I consider my daily walk home from work a pleasure. I wouldn’t call it relaxing, but it’s certainly not boring.

Formalities

Changed my flip flops for a formal dress and my crazy busrides for an evening at the Swedish residence. Combining the embassy life with my hippie travelling lifestyle isn’t very easy but extremely rewarding. This is what I’ve always wanted to do, being able to enjoy both – I guess I’m a hippie in a suit. haha
