Nanaga Fruit Stand

Generally, I enjoy fruit stands.

While travelling I find them doubly interesting because I eat a lot more fruit in my 'normal' life than I get at most restaurants, and because fruit stands/food shopping always offer a glimpse into how life works in other cultures.

Unsurprisingly, this South African fruit stand was very similar to what I'd get in California. Except that the local fruit was stone fruits, pineapples, lichi, and enormous guava: not what I'd expect in California at all.

The woman offering free samples seemed very entertained by me. I can be funny, but I suspect I am enjoying the same accent-bonus that a South African might get in the States.

I'm cool with that.Read more
