About changes Arusha

I was in Arusha in 2005 for four months. That's seven years ago, so I was very excited to see whether things were the way I remembered.

They were and they werent. I recognised many of the shops and many of the elements around. Such as the cars, the people walking around everywhere, some of the shops. Yet everything is smaller and dirtier and feels more neglected than I remember it. In my mind everything was more bright and colourful than it appears to me now.

It is nice to speak to people and when they realise I know the area and some Swahili. It makes things a little easier.
