I decided to take the rest of the day off from researching and interviewing about ministry ideas and history of Rwanda and go to the markets. THAT in itself was a chore since I am a muzunguu (white person). Everyone wanted to talk with me because of my skin colour. White means power and money in Africa. Of course, once I started talking with them and getting to know them, they also learned my personality and how I act like a Kenyan, not a tourist. I had a great time and was actually at the markets for over three hours just speaking to them and hearing their stories of how they came to Rwanda. Many of them were from neighboring countries and are refugees. In the end, I think we BOTH had a great time laughing and sharing stories!
