TANZANIA
I first visited Tanzania in 1980 and returned in 1984 spending most of my time in Dar es Saleem then travelled by train to the Zambian border.

             At the airport, sixteen kilometres from Dar es Salaam, local cab drivers cornered in-coming passengers, hoping to transport them to city-centre for 100 shillings apiece.
            Most passengers, however insisted on waiting for the less expensive airport bus, despite the claims of the cabbies that it did not exist. Unable to agree, the two sides withdrew to their respective benches.
           To pass the time, two new arrivals began throwing a frisbee back and forth.  The cabbies, sitting nearby and never having seen a frisbee before, found the new game amusing.
          Noting their reaction, one insightful youngster tossed the frisbee towards the group of drivers.  One cabbie made a successful grab for it.  The culture gap melted.+
