Mwenge and Kariakoo Markets





Today was a day off and some of us decided to hit a couple of markets. First we to Mwenge Market which is not so far away; it is a craft market and has many things that people would like to take home as gifts. We bought some sandals, cloth bags and artwork. Then we went into the City Centre to the Kariakoo Market. This is a market that sprawls through market buildings, shops and city streets. It is where ordinary Tanzanians in the city center would do their shopping. It is not so much that we thought we would find things to buy there as it was it an opportunity to see the city center and look around. Mave and Kuno were a little overwhelmed; they worried, among other things, that we might get lost in the market.
