Third Day : Tuesday 21.07.09
After having everydays morning cold shower I went with tryson and we had a walk in Cairo Road, one of the most important roads in Lusaka. we arrived at the Show ground where we met two men from the communities. we discussed how are we going to build the model house for the Agriculture show.later on we went to Manda Hill one of two famous shopping centres in Lusaka (the other one is the Arcades), for me they just look like San Francisco shopping plazas. one can find there some stores that he already know about: Subway fast food, Shoprite, Bata and Zain .I finally got a cellphone ! a pay as you go sim card costs 5000 Kawacha and 1 SMS to Egypt costs around 550 Kawacha.Something one easily notices about Lusaka is the top-ups kiosks they're just spread up everywhere. Tryson told me today that people might have nothing to eat for the night but they top-up their phones ! Back to the office I've checked my emails and then we left to do some shopping at shoprite.I didn't buy much stuff I got Peanut Butter, Tuna, Toast, Water, Biscuits, Plastic Plate, plastic table tools, Scotsh Brite, Axion and I paid 55 000 Kawacha ! I have to say that people in Slums (most of Lusaka's population) earn around 500 000 Kawacha per month as total household Income. Imagine paying 55 000 Kawacha for 1 meal ! Lusaka is not cheap like one can imagine: you pay 15 000 Kawacha for a 5 minutes Taxi ride.1 Dollar = 5000 Kawacha.
