More Little Differences...
- In UK it's a frail sunshine engulfed by a pervasive murky grey; whilst here in Malawi we have a vigorous gladiatorial sun: big, bright and burning!
- In UK I'm just an ordinary bloke; but over here I'm this rich mzungu - gold-filled pockets, the finest clothes, the most exclusive of residences.
- In UK it's 4 to a taxi; but in the squashed, squeezed, hurly-burly of Malawi it's always: "Room for 4 more!"
- In UK you say "OK?" to a stranger, your reply is a cold suspicious silence; in The Warm Heart of Africa, a friendly greeting returns many happy retorts.
