This is what I was trying to say. He's lived there for 15 years, they know the guy, they know he runs a business that brings in the tourist dollars. It's the way it works in Tanzania. he said it doesn't matter than he speaks fluent Swahili, or anything. he's white, he pays more than his African wife. That's just the way it is (dododo dododo dododo).
We're getting off the original topic though and she take this off line.
