So forgiving!

Sitting on a minibus in Lusaka, the "conductor", in his hurry to get back to the station for a new load of customers, slides the door, as the bus speeds away, slamming it on an innocent victim/passenger's fingers, OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! A chorus of "sorry sorry sorry", resounds throughout the minibus.. and the man winces, clutching his throbbing hand... in a few seconds, the whole episode is over, forgotten for good... no law suits, nothing... just a couple of flabergasted tourists amazed!!!!!!

Products here do tend to vary in taste, consistency, quality etc from batch to batch... sometimes you get a tastless, underseasoned packet of Jiggies (crisps), or an over flavored box of Yummy Soy (strawberry cereal) or an under salted packet of Maggies Crackers... Instead of the company getting complaints, law suits, boycotts, losing sails, a bad name, shutting down... Everyone just seems to "understand", give them grace, and hopes the next batch will be better!!!! I LOVE AFRICA!!!!!!

PS, For Sail is often sighted on items for sale around town... Hair Saloons too!!
