I am again and this time reports from the African kitsch and the faith that people have Sun
to kitsch:
even if Tanzania is not really the richest country in the world is that people actually trying to do here but to get the luxury of something in his house. For this, the British have contributed, as they Tanzania (then Tanganyika) had taken 2 times. Man
old British tradition is here again soon. The daily drink tea with lots of sugar and milk, even if the only way milk powder. and the design of the living room is also of considerable importance. the sofas and chairs are embroidered with gold or colorful cloths and . Patterns color the living room then looks more like a rainbow. everything is strong and bright. all flash and sparkle. Some have a plastic christmas tree with colored balls in the living room are. season no matter what. Pictures of Jesus kitschy portraits exhibit or sayings on the walls over the expressionless faces of family photos!
in the car then hang colorful blankets on the sitting or on the dashboard and wiggle with the scraps back and forth.
Even the cell phone is filled with flowers or rhinestones and the ringtone is then usually something like Titanic (romantic music genrell), or television dance music. Kitsch is not to take over!
Now I get to the things that interest me mostly in the 3 months that I've been here have surprised!
did in the first week here I found a chameleon. I picked it up and immediately jumped richard induced with a stick and beat me to hand out the. He was upset and totally waved frantically and could not demonstrate clear sentence about. I just looked at him amazed. He explained to me that chameleons are deadly and you must kill it immediately, before making a kill. I did not quite understand why. but that was good or evil is what he firmly believed. I then tried to explain to him that chameleons are not deadly but more people are afraid of. He did not understand and said repeatedly that they kill you! I asked
him then whether he ever would have seen a dead body that was killed by a chamaeleon or what because the malicious chamaeleon one wanted to kill. approximately with the long tongue that shoots out? or shake hands with the little? vielleiocht it looks so even a big goggle eyes with the dead!
he could not give me an answer to the question, but when I held him then he ran away towards the chameleon!
When I had last week then one morning a little upset stomach and I felt dizzy, I just fell asleep again until 2 clock in the afternoon and then hit me in the evening with Richard. when he heard that I clock from dinner until 2 pm the next morning nothing had eaten, he said: "What? oh, my friend! You are going to die! "And I asked him why." Because you have not eaten anything, "then I tried to explain to him that I was sick and could not eat or wanted! But he insisted on knowing how to behaves when you are sick His theory looks as follows from:.. If you're sick, you have to eat even more, how else does already, because eating healthy makes disease-no matter what eating always helps and if one day one! long is nothing, you die!
about it I only could laugh and then the rest of the evening I tried to explain that if the stomach problems you have, you should not eat believe. he wanted me but not really!
there but still so much more that the people here believe, or believe to know what is our complete nonsense!
Let's see what we have difference of opinion, for!
