It´s a town with aprox. 5000 inhabitants, a farmers market once a week and a few small shops.

On the left you see the local poultry shop. Yes! these things hanging
behind the shopkeeper inside his shop made from some logs found on the beach and a
tin roof are chickens. Imagine this: it´s more than 35°C hot and these were hanging
there for more than a few nano-seconds. We were NOT very hungry then...
Another shop had spices (curry, chili-powder and tons of others we never saw and smelt
before - great! We bought some and next time you´re over here we´ll fix you the finest
curries you´ve ever had! (We also brought some recipies with us) The picture on the right
is a shop with sun-dried fish (from makerels to shark - you name it they got it!) Below
you see Antje in front of a shop selling betel nut (we did not try that, you get red gums
and teeth from it) It´s mixed with ground sea shells and sand and chewed like SKOAL. You
get dizzy in your head after a while but for us it was hot enough anyway! And Antje found
another thing that made HER dizzy: ARAK or "holy water". It looks like rum and
is about 75 proof - you can drink it pure or mix it with (a little bit of) SPRITE. But
never before sunset ! Again, it´s time to stop and go to the next page where I´m gonna tell you about the making of ARAK!
