Shit happens...

I was in Mozambique 2 days ago, and since I've never been there for as long we are living in South Africa altough it's just 250 km from where we live, ( see http://amazulu.commonga...te.com/ )I was actually travelling! (not?).
So I've been taking some travel pictures.
Amongst the pictures I've shot, these ones of an "open air workshop" where you can get your exhaust repaired or some bodywork on your "scorocoro" (an old rundown vehickle) done.
Nothing special if this paricular exhaust job, wouldn't have run out of hand a bit.

Now everyone who's been to Africa before, will know that Africa is "different".
African people got such a complete different view on life that somethimes it's very difficult to understand their way of thinking. Which certainly doesn't mean that our (Western) approach to daily life is better just because it's different. For me it is exactly what made me fall in love with Africa: the uncomplicated, straightforward way of living. God creates the day and we live it!.

Anyway, to get back to the story: shit happens! We all know that!
But if it happens, there is a rule in Africa ...Whatever you do, DO NOT LOOSE YOUR COOL!

Signed,

Edwin

BTW: I'm NOT dyslexic if you would think so ... I'm only speaking English for 3 years now
