Sights and Sounds

I will post examples of what I'm listening to semi-irregularly, and photos that I've taken even less frequently than that.

Dalla-Dalla

This is a Dalla-Dalla, the preferred form of public transport among the urban and rural poor of Tanzania.  To my American eyes it looks like something that might comfortably seat 10 or maybe sqeeze in 15, so I was shocked when I first saw one with people packed into literally every cubic inch of space behind the driver and even a few hanging off the side.  They can and will put 25+ people into one of these things, so don’t plan on taking the Dalla-Dalla unless you’ve overcome your need for personal space.
