| Cheaper
Taxi :
This is a picture I could take in many places--Arusha in this case,
but Nairobi would have worked just as well. This man is pushing a rough
cart, hired by people to carry things less expensively than a car, taxi,
and so on. The men who push them often work for someone else who owns
the vehicle itself, but over time, with patience and a GREAT DEAL of effort,
they may be able to own their own cart. Once you own one cart, you can
keep acquiring them until you become the entrepreneur--like owning your
own taxi or your own semi (truck). So for "daily life" here,
we have a nice vehicle parked outside a shop while the middle-class vehicle
owner shops inside. We have a man, presumably Maasai given the blanket
he is wearing, walking along, and in front we have a man engaged in a
day's work. It looks like he's pushing Cart number thirty-seven. |
