Talking with friends and family back home reminded me that the mundane here is what most people wonder about. Roman asked what I eat. Martha wanted to see what the toilets look like. Daddy couldn’t believe that women actually carry bunches of bananas on their heads.

It’s in the spirit of recording my day-to-day that I’m approaching these posts that will be published in the Mundane category. I’ve shaken off my self-consciousness at feeling like a tourist when I photograph everything. I obviously am not from around here. (Lakini mimi ni mbongo kabisa.) I’m documenting my daily mundane for your edification, to show you what life in Moshi is like.

In keeping with the theme, I thought that I’d record my commute.
