GOOOOO Indians!

Okay, there are Indians EVERYWHERE in Tanzania. Actually not just in Tanzania, its really an East Africa phenomana. While we're going on our meetings for work, 1/2 the people we meet are Indians. We walked into this fertilizer importer company, and 90% of the employees were Indian. The women there were wearing salwar suit, bindi, etc.

Even our driver, Jonas, told us how most of the businesses in Dar es Salaam are owned by Indians.

And this is not just in Dar es Salaam; even in Arusha, At the hotel, the were playing (really bad) hindi music in the restaurant! Even our driver in Arusha (Thomas) was telling us how many of the businesses are owned by Indians.

And this is not just about the businsess. They have the following in Tanzania that I thought was interesting:
- Bank of Baroda
- Delhi Public School + other Indian Schools
- Umm... there's more... will update list as I can think of it... it's been a long day!
