The experience of living as a long-term expatriate seems to bring out about some interesting ideas. Those of us who are here in the relatively short term tend think about things like how to manage to get some dark chocolate or the best place for fast internet in Kigali. Others, though, people who have been here for three, four, seven years seem to spend less time trying worrying about what can't be done/found/bought here, and more time coming up with ways to enjoy themselves in the long run.
The Kigali sensation of "moto polo", started two years ago by a few friends of mine, seems to be just that. Clearly born of a drunken "Hey wouldn't it be awesome if we..." conversation, it's polo played on the backs of the ubiquitous motobike taxis with plenty of beer and socializing thrown in for good measure. An immensely good time. This game ended up tied 8-8.
hahaha! amazing. I WILL DO THIS WITH YOU DURING MID YEAR RETREAT!!
