What it is

These are some of the images I was trying to insert into my last post.

The aunties cook over a huge wood fire in a hut behind the house. Here, they're peeling matooke, a kind of plantain. It's a treat for the kids.

Meat stalls in the market, plastered with the Warid mobile network branding.

Some of the kids on their way home from school.

(Midway home, and stunned by the shininess and abundance of schiphol airport. Fast wifi and a by-the-hour pristine little capsule hotel where I shed my clothes and slept for four blissful hours under crisp dutch sheets and duvet, then had a hot shower where I opened my mouth with abandon).
