walking is the best method of getting around.
Q: What do you eat?
A: We have found a variety of similar things to eat here as
we had in US. We can purchase potatoes, rice, ground beef, and many
other food items we are familiar with already. However, the shape,
size, texture, and flavor are sometimes different from what we had
expected. We purchase flour and sugar in 50 Kilo bags (approx 110
lb). We do have to take precautions when preparing our meals. All
fruits and vegetables must be washed in water and Clorox solution to
kill any parasites and bacteria. Our drinking and cooking water must
also be filtered. We have had opportunity to eat some African meals,
which have been very good. Send an email and ask some of the details
sometime.
