The friendly Africans
The Africans are friendly poeple here.
They stay outside of the way, in the lonley and little bush areas, an looks curious, who come now with a car. Not so much cars comes every day and so it is a important event, when I cross the market place of the village. But in Asia the poeple wave with the hands and greet friendly, they only one stay and look.
When I greet, then they smile and fast go up the hands to greet. The furious, gloomy and shady face will be bright by a great and wide smile. The white tames sparkle as a 100 W - lamp and of the apparent warrior would a innocent and friendly family father.

They excuse for all things. Often I heard the "sorry", And often I asked me, why they excuse now?
The most curious situation was with Maulid, as the jeep stood in the water up to the knees. I was cursing and went around the jeep. And then I slid in the mud and fell in the waterhole. Only the head looked out the water (I think a curious situation.) I be used to hear - "What have you done again now?" or "Can't you pay attention?" But now I heard - "Sorry!" It was a sound, as Maulid would be to blame of this situation. I would curse now and he said - "Sorry!" I must smile and said he don't must excuse when I so stupid and fall in the water. This was my problem. But every time came this "Sorry!" When the cigarette fall down. When I drive trough a deep hole in the road. Every time he was sorry.
But this was better and more pleasant as to hear some commentaries about me.
