Arusha can be, no, is chaotic but very interesting at the same time. Many towns are busy and hectic like Arusha, I thought it was the norm but Djibouti for instance looks dead boring and sleepy. OK maybe one stopover was too short to give a definite opinion but the sidewalks were empty, there was no traffic, no business, no hawkers…
local playboy, maybe a ‘sapeur” fan, that is a trend from Congo which dictates that your life revolves around highly fashionable clothes and parties. “Sape” in slang French means clothes but also a Congolese concept and acronym about well-dressed and party-goer people: Société des Ambianceurs et Personnes Elégantes if I remember well. That would translate into party-goers and well dressed persons society.
many armed guards in Arusha, but not always with the proper training nor proper type of weapon for street action...
