2nd day in Tanzania

Even though we only arrived yesterday, it feels like much longer. Today we visited a local festival which was rather a big shopping show. Local companies introduced themselves as well as fairtrade organisations who try to promote and sell goods from local producers. Excitement arose when Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, the president of Tanzania, came for a visit. In the afternoon, we visited the National Museum in Dar-Es-Salaam. It was truely interesting to get to know more about the history and the culture of the country. Tanganyika was a German colony until the First World War, afte which it became British. In 1964 it united with Zanzibar and became the independent United Republic of Tanzania.
