Okay, as you know, cars aren't the only form of transportation here. Bicycles are also a big way that people get around the city. So here is my top 5 things you will see on the back of a bicycle that people are carrying around with them...
5. lawnmowers. Yes...you will actually see push mowers tied to the back of bicycles. They are most likely gardeners for "expats" (anyone here who isn't Malawian).
4. live chickens. Sometimes you'll see a basket of baby chicks, and other times its some big live chickens on their way...to become a pet I'm sure.
3. live goats: also on their way to becoming pets...heh.
2. market buys: Meaning whatever food or goodie they bought at the market that day.
1. Logs. You will see piles of logs that are twice as tall as the person riding the bicycle! They are piled and have supports that curve up above the head of the rider! Its crazy!
A funny side note: I went to CFC (like KFC african style) and they had a sign for ice cream flavors on the wall. One of them was "wall nut". haha!
Have you tried riding a bike there yet?...with stuff on it of course? hehe
