Kubwinja Ethnic Lodge
These musicians/dancers were my first introduction to traditional African talent - the guy on the far left (the main dancer) could move in ways I didn't even know was possible! This woman and child to the right are the family of the lodge owner. She was pumping the water from their well and later showed us how she balances it on her head - so incredible! She was also very excited to see herself on a digital camera - everyone here thinks it is so funny to see themselves right away....
These kids were swarming us outside the tailor's while we were in Area 25 getting our chitenjes (wraps) made. They were all yelling Mzungu and wanted their pictures taken as they too love to see themselves.
This little boy out front in the blue sweater was one of my favourites because he wasn't too pushy... some of the kids were being really violent trying to get in front, but he just waited his turn patiently.... and had the most adorable smile.
Below is a sign that was displayed on the wall of a mini-bus (what we take to work everyday) - I thought it was a great depiction of the way many Malawians view women....
Okay I really hated having that as my last picture but the internet cafe has become too busy that pictures won't load... I'm going to have to try to do more tomorrow....
I hope you enjoyed the few....

PS. I just looked at the preview and the formatting isn't coming out the same but this will have to do for now...
