March Malawi has incredibly kind people and incredibly beautiful nature. What’s more, the kind people don’t crap all over the beautiful nature. It’s safe to say that Malawi is a total African anomaly. ![]() This isn’t Switzerland, this is one of the poorest countries in the world. ![]() Everything is green, tidy, neatly trimmed and clean-swept. ![]() It’s as though every second person here is a gardener. ![]() A tire shop. ![]() A trash can. ![]() No left turn. ![]() Children. ![]() A pedestrian. ![]() A bus stop. ![]() The traffic signs outside the city have holes drilled through them so that they don’t get stolen for domestic needs. ![]() Billboards also have a bunch of holes drilled through them—that way, they can’t be used for roofing. ![]() A license plate. ![]() A traffic light. ![]() A payphone. ![]() The only mailbox I encountered was the one in the lobby of my hotel. ![]() Gorgeous PO boxes outside the post office. ![]() The market. ![]() A piece of British heritage: police bowler hats. ![]() The intersections are filled with signs and advertisements. ![]() “How about some fish, mate?” ![]() Don’t drink and drive. ![]() Don’t hit any cows with your car. ![]() Wear reflective patches at night. ![]() Help combat cholera. ![]() “Chicken, come get your chicken!” ![]() A kilometer marker. ![]() Let’s visit a typical village. It sits in the shade of baobab trees surrounded by a sea of flowers. ![]() The homes consist of clay structures with thatched roofs. ![]() Those who are a bit wealthier place a plastic sheet under the straw. ![]() Personal possessions consist of a straw mat, a mug, and a piece of mirror. Children usually get their first pair of shoes around the age of twelve. What’s the point in giving them shoes any earlier? ![]() The kitchen is simply a fire in the corner. ![]() Toy balls consist of clumps of leaves tied together with string. ![]() And everyone is happy! ![]() And the entire country is beaming with joy and filled with blossoming trees. ![]() A total African anomaly. ![]() |
