Trying to get a SIM card.

Where can I get a SIM card for my phone? I asked at my hotel.
At the Darajani Market, they said, and gave me a map.

Stone Town is a labyrinth of small alleys. I was constantly looking at the map trying to make sense of it. Soon a guy started offering me a tour...that I rejected but he started following me and asking where I want to go.. he offered to take me there for free but in every interesting corner he would tell me something about it...

With my "guide" we arrived soon to the market, and he also helped me to buy a card. At the end of course I ended paying for his services.

A cardboard box is all what these two young entrepreneurs need to  have their Sim Card store at the market.

Some drawings I did the next day, like this alley in the Spice Market.

Markets are great places for drawing people.

Farm Market

Last Saturday the Farm Market opened in St. John's. I was very exited since I love to draw markets. Some people will remember my sketches in the markets in Sicily, in Oman and in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Well here I have to confess that I was a little disappointed since there weren't much vegetables around.
But it seems to be a very nice place to gather when the weather is good, and the amount of people that was there, shows that there is a need for a market in St. John's.
