Some observations

  • Santa and his reindeer do not feature here
  • Even the humblest of abodes have decorations for Christmas
  • Most people have new clothes for Christmas, the little children are dressed beautifully
  • Designer labels on clothes are very common
  • Public transport is very easy to access and very reliable
  • Make up is a waste of timne as the perspiration destroys the effect
  • Hairstyles are destroyed during tricycle and jeep travels (Reuben, Stephen and I have given up!)
  • There is a very high level of God awareness - Names of businesses, signs and tricycles
  • Children and young people are very respectful to their elders
  • Anglosaxons are very rare in this area
  • Private cars (many SUVs) are kept spotless
