THINGS WE DIDN’T EXPECT IN MALAWI by Matthew

When we got to Malawi, we had doubts about Entertainment centers (TVs), etc.

Here are a few things we didn’t expect:

1. Television is NOT scarce in Malawi.

2. Soda drinks are a very POPular (get it? POPular?) Drink and Coke, Fanta, & Sprite are most common.

3. Ketchup and French fries are common too.

4. Toy collector’s item aircraft are available at 50 Kwacha (about $0.35).

5. Video games can be found as well, at reasonable prices.

6. Cookies are available at around $0.25 a package

So, now you see, things aren’t as bad as we thought!
