    The tide times changes every day. It is 48 minutes later each day. This means that only after 3 days at the same hour of day when you had low tide you now have about half-time. So, after about 1 week when you had low tide you now have high tide. So, never ask at what time is the tide normally.

      This is because the standardised dialect of Swahili is the one that is spoken in the Unguja Island of Zanzibar, it also known as Kiunguja, internationally it is recongnised as the most purest form of Kiswahili and it is the main reference point of the langauge. However Kiswahili is spoken all over Eastern and Central Africa in different dialects and we all would love it to be a unifying African language in the future.

    In Mombassa, they were called ‘twilight girls’ and would always ask for you to buy them a coke. The guys selling things on the beach were aggressive and we called them ‘beach boys’.

      what an arrogant point of view. The guys are making a living like any car dealer in the US. The "beach boys" are grown up men, often with a family. Talk politely to them and once you know them, everything will be simple and smooth. Merricans are always frightened by ordinary locals. You are the guest and they are born in this place!

Fifty car keys and every one of them saying ‘you buy! You buy! Special deal!’ And only stop when you step off the lot.
