- The amazing ability that Africans have of being able to harmonise on the spot: I was sitting in chapel at MTCEA last Friday listening in wonder as beautiful African voices praised God. I know God rejoices in being praised by those of all musical ability, but I certainly found it easier to connect with the beauty of those voices than I do with my own!
- The greetings: so often they drive me round the bend, but in my better moments I do truly appreciate the friendliness of those around me, their joy in being greeted in their own language, and their amazing hospitality.
- Chapattis: ok, not originally Tanzanian, but a great import from India!
- Househelp: our househelp, Mama Nick, is possibly the greatest blessing here in Tanzania! Not only do we get the amazing opportunity to provide someone with much needed employment, but we never have to go to the butcher ourselves. To be honest, I don't even know which butcher she goes to...
- Tailors: I love being able to go to the tailor's and get a dress made exactly/ pretty close to my specifications in awesome African fabric - now I just need to not gain weight so I can still wear them all...
- The sun: a rather obvious choice for any who know me, but great nonetheless, especially with British summers as they are now.
And so many more things...
