Today was certainly an eye opener. We got to see the westernized side of Zim culture while grocery shopping, which was not at all what I expected. They played American music in the store (Fun., Pink, T-Swift and JBiebs) and even at the craft fair (Michael Jackson, anyone?)

| Kapenta: basically dried anchovies |

The orange Sunny D-like drink is Mazoe. It comes in several flavors,
but the classic orange is most popular, |
But they sold mealy meal, oxtail soup and chakalaka in the stores. They also sold the fried caterpillars and dried fish (I forget the names...) which look gross but are more for nutrient intake than taste (62% of your protein...)

| Bags of rice: the staple food of native Zimbabweans |

| Vegetables from the open market |
It was a very cool experience, as was eating Chinese (yes, Chinese in Zim) with the town missionaries tonight.
So excited to go to Karanda tomorrow!
