Inefficient road transportation during the rainy season in Meatu
A lot of things in Tanzania are frustratingly inefficient. A lot of things in Tanzania require incredible patience. Turning back on the electricity is not one of these things.
We used up our electricity credit in our work house (likely because I opt to keep the refrigerator on) here in Meatu. My colleague used the brilliance of M-Pesa to buy another 50,000 Tanzanian shillings of electricity and within twenty-five seconds, the power was back on.
I don’t think a power company in the states could turn the electricity back on within twenty-five hours.
