Yesterday morning I felt like Rocky.
I was walking to work at 8am in 30+ degree heat and sweating when I come up to an old guy (about 45 but that is old here) pulling/pushing a cart up a hill. They use these carts to carry all sorts of stuff around town and they compete with bikes, motorbikes, cars, daladala's, buses, trucks, taxis and pedestrians with courage for the limited road space. Nuts.
Anyway, this old guy is pulling the cart up the hill so I decide to throw my backpack into the back of his empty cart and make him carry the thing - I mean he is going my way anyway. Right?
Just kidding, but I did put the backpack in and I helped him push the cart. He turned around, waved and smiled.
We pushed the cart all the way to my work. We got toots from cars and cheers from the school we passed. I said "Asante, ninakwenda mfanya kazi". "Thanks I'm going to work." and he said "Asante sana" thanks very much. "Karibu".
I was sweating like a pig but it was great fun.
I would like to propose not to hold off until you earn enough money to buy goods! You can get the loans or just consolidation loans and feel comfortable
