Men at Work

Here is a wood-carver. We went to a wood-carving family and they showed us how they started out with a huge hunk of wood and turned it into a beautiful smooth carving. I bought a couple of things here.


This is how you deal with tall grass in Africa. Instead of having 1 lawn mower and 1 person to push/ride the lawn mower, you send about 50 of people to slash the grass with a bent machetes. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.


This is a street tailor who made a dress for me. He just has his sewing machine set up at the side of the road and you drop off your fabric and tell him what you want as the cars and bikes go flying by.
