Jahanguir, freelance camera man for TVM (Mozambique’s national TV station) runs the still functioning Portuguese cinema in his hometown Gurue. A real life example of Cinema Paradiso.

Alex (r) at the Mtendere Guesthouse, Chiponda, Namwera, Malawi-Mozambique border.

There is a parcel with new cameras at Chileka Airport, with a whopping 38 410 kwachas import duty on it. No single customs officer blinked an eye when I crossed borders with my first parcel. Why should I pay duty for an amount far exceeding the actual value, about 150 pounds?

Tete, the hottest place on earth, halfway on the main road connecting Zimbabwe with Malawi and eventually Blantyre, where a shipping with new cameras is waiting.

Tete looks as typical a Mozambican town as you can get: as if nothing changed since Independence, with retro neon billboards, and obviously, matching hotels.
