Things you don't see at home

Every now and then it strikes you that you are in Africa. Here are 10 things I’ve seen in the last few days that have reminded me that we are certainly not in the UK

1) A goat up a tree

2)   A group of old men drinking home-made wine from a bucket

3)   A man carrying a severed goats head by the ear

4)   A pile of 5 massive mangos for 75p

5)   A man telling me how a rat had been nibbling on his toes as he slept (He hadn’t noticed because of his leprosy)

6)   A goat with a cough

7)   A 10yr old girl carrying 20l water on her head

8)  A pet monkey tied to a tree in a refugee camp

9)   A man my age with 10 children

10)  A goat riding a bicycle

P

p.s. I may have used artistic license with number 10. The goat may have been on the back of the bicycle.
