To Ushoto

Oct 14, 2007 Sun

Location: Ushoto Tanzania Africa

Morning
06:08	Bus to Ushoto Fascha bus from Arusha to Ushoto start at 6:30am for 7 or 8 hours? The price of the bus ticket is 8000 TZS I paid a little preimum of 20 000 to buy the ticket from the hotel. I was thinking about some tips for the hotel manager in Arusha Tourist Inn but I guess he got himself paid pretty handsomely already. Not that I think this is unfair in any way. Sometimes it is better for them to obtain their own tips instead of depending on the mercy of the tourists. Even myself doesn't have a good record of giving fair tips. the driver tried to scam other tourists to pay a luggage fee (small luggage free but not big luggage), but no one bother to scam me, I guess that is the advantage of paying a preium. 06:29:39 waiting for bus to start it is a bit crammy, but at least the bus is big. 06:32:46 bus leave the bus station pretty on time 06:41:00 the glasses of the bus rattled, but it doesn't bother me much, (but apparently it bother me enough to note it). 06:55:26 stop by police, the police was holding a speed gun 06:58:09 bus continue 07:37:57 microfiance I have seen at least 2 microfinance branch it seems to work well to boost the Tanzanian economic
