May 10th, 2015 Out of Lilongwe, Malawi

4AM We arrived at the border. I confirmed the wig myth with mother and daughter. It was true.
6AM We arrived at Lilongwe.
9AM I played pool with a bus boy, who looked trustworthy to store my bag.
10AM just left for Salima (1600 MWKs for 2 hour). I then had to tried to join another minibus, which took around 20 minutes to fill. They don't leave until it is filled. I arrived at Senga Bay at noon.
12PM I took some pictures after having a couple of sodas.







1PM When I stopped to take some children's photo, a man sitting ask if he can fix my shoe for 500 kwacha.  When hr was doing it, I left for the market. I had some nsima, which is the porridge I had at Swaziland.  Apparently, it is not rice but flour.  I had some steak and intestine for 100 MWKs. I talked to a man whose favorite thing about Malawi is the nice people and least is poverty. When I was done and came back, the man left and I gave money to the little girl who said she is collecting for him (540 MWKs).


Intestine



2:30PM I left for Lilongwe, which was so far away I fell asleep twice.  I was bothered later by a swanky drunkard but I eventually took cared of him.

  
Nsima and beef


5:30 PM We arrived back at Lilongwe. I had extra money left so I had some fish for dinner (1200 MWKs).  I talked to a man who worked the government, who escorted me around.



7PM We left on time but the person sitting next to me disappeared the Seven Eleven shopping excursion.  Another chubby guy came on to move the two people next to me, thereby forcing me out of my seat too.  I moved next to a lady with a baby but I realized my seat couldn't move.
