Tudo bem

Have 3 pics for you. 

The first is the new logo for Mozambican tourism (pole about the qualidade). It’s toe curling (in a good and normal way) when viewed with the video (which I’ll figure out how to upload onto you tube at some point – version I have is only working on PC, not MAC so far). There’s no pay-off line below the logo ‘cause there were just so many things to say… those responsible for the logo left it blank so you jijazie. 

The 2nd picture was taken ‘cause I couldn’t believe the old chestnut of naked (female) natives has in the past or even at present, been used to promote mozambican tourism. Then again, it’s used to promote even Kenya (Samburu and patented? Maasai girls). Another way to look at it might be that there are nude beaches in Bazaruto, and I can finally indulge my fantasy of unhindered sunbathing? (though I have it on good authority that places where ‘the sun don’t shine’ are very UV sensitive).

3rd picture: I may just have to move here ‘cause I finally found mabuyu (powder AND seeds), thus completing the surrogate-for-Mombasa role Maputo plays in my life. Granted they’re not coated with the red syrupy sweet stuff, but who’s to say I’m not the one to bring that change to the way mabuyu’s eaten here? 

ALSO, should you happen to be in Maputo and looking for free wireless internet, try Pastelaria Nautilus (next to Piri-Piri, opposite Polana shopping centre). They have a very generous ‘biriany de galinha’ (chicken biriyani) for 140,00 MT (should you choose to eat there) to go with that free internet ;) .

    Hi egm, good to see you in these parts.
    The initial appeal was the sugar and color. Always a good way to hook kids onto anything.
