Amms' thoughts on Tanzania
We have spent about equal time in Kenya and Tanzania now, and definitely our favourite is Kenya. The people there were so genuine and friendly whereas we feel an undercurrent of something here in Tanzania that we're not sure where we stand. There have been a few instances of fights happening when we get off a bus as taxi drivers/touts want to take us to their hotel. Also if you show interest in buying something and then decide not to make a purchase, people can sometimes turn a bit strange. Talking about Kenya here doesn't go down well either - probably because that country seems to be progressing more quickly than Tanzania which I think is being led by corrupt politicians. Anyway, enough of my ranting.

ReplyDeleteSounds a bit like Vietnam. Steve got approached on the street by a vendor and when he asked how much (i.e. a buying sign to the vendor) then walked away the guy said "f*** you!" Good customer service there! Many more similar examples in Vietnam but we loved Cambodia in contrast.
