Oeps 2

We often borrow an embassy car, this could be either of the two white Toyota Pick ups or one of the Toyota Prado's.

Kigali has quit a few cars, a lot of white Toyota Corollas as taxis, a lot of Toyota minibuses and privately owned mostly 4x4s. There are a few categories of private cars, in order of appearance, White Toyota pick ups, white Toyota Prado's (see a pattern yet?), other 4x4s, Toyota 'normal' car and finally 'other'. The 'other' category is rather interesting, but I won't go into that.

Anyway, I had one of the pick-ups, dropped Haze of at Yoga and went to do some shopping. Some bananas (obligatory), some mangoes, yoghurt, some other small things and a box of four 5 liter bottles of water. A man from the shop kindly offered to bring the water to the car, of course this kindness was not just out of kindness. We walked to the car, I opened the door with some difficulties and the man put the water on the backseat and walked aways after I give him a tip. Then to my great surprise someone started to put a great tree of bananas on the back. I asked him and his made what he thought he was doing. The bloke was surprised and assured me he had the right car, so just to assure myself I looked at the license plate. Insert oops here. Indeed I had the wrong car, I didn't know how quick I could get my stuff out the car into the other one 10 meters further and drive away. Of course all this was witnessed by a lot of people and the word Muzungu was used, probably followed by stupid, but luckily my kinyarwanda is not that good.
