Hi Anita, welcome back! What do you think we "overprivileged white people" in our social hammock called Europe should learn from the interesting people you met while travelling in Africa? What do they do more cleverly there than we do? #StackSats
Hi Anon,
be more flexible, think more "Ubuntu" - meaning caring about your community - not so much about individuality and how we can satisfy our ego. Not trusting the government or banks, being self-reliant (because you simply have to). People in general are more open and friendly - to foreigners too.
The sad thing in a way is, that consumer capitalism is coming to Zimbabwe, Zambia and many other countries too. KFC, McDonalds, shopping malls, all that status bullshit that people see on anti-social media - everyone wants this. Of course they want the same lifestyle, but it's sad that local traditions are being lost along the way and the same mistakes are being made.
