I’m not sure if it is entirely legal or not but street vendors rule the retail environment in Mozambique. Everyone is selling something. My new flat does not have as many hotels for foreigners so there I’m not confronted by the same barrage of merchants trying to sell me something, I must say, a welcome change. I want to highlight some of the more interesting items I have been offered for purchase.
The top 10 things I have been offered for sale:
10. A rotten banana
9. Used slippers
8. Raw squid
7. A Mosquitoe killing tennis racquet
6. Water coconut
5. German version of “Wanted” starring Angelina Jolie
4. Darkglasses (sunglasses) when it was raining and I already had a pair on my head.
3. 1976 Mercedes-Benz missing 1 door and uncapable of speeds over 40 km/h (25 mph)
without endangering the public.
2. Bottled water. No really, tap water that was put into a bottle and chilled.
1. A razor sharp bow and arrow to hunt Lions!!!
