First sight of Mzungu.

Uploaded: November 05, 2010 04:56:58

Description

East Africans call a white person mzungu.In the African villages, the sight of a mzungu causes much excitement. Some people will stare at a mzungu, out of curiosity or wonderment. The children will follow a mzungu around, curious and amused. The smaller children and babies might scream in terror. Gradually, however, what was strange begins to appear normal :-)
