There is an article published in TES magazine and website about my summer holiday in Rwanda. It is just a glimpse of what it was as I find it very hard to summarise in few words that unique experience.

These are some of the questions I was asked:
1- Would you move to Rwanda?
2- Would you come back?
3- How do I know my talents?
4- How to not disappoint my family if I choose a profession that is not the one that they want me to follow?
5- How long does it take to get married in Scotland?
6- What do I have to do to go abroad?
7- What are you going to leave for us that will inspire us, that will remind us that you were here?
Bike is a synonym of status in Ruhuha, Rwanda. It is either a means of transport for commercial or personal purposes. It is an economic source and to have a bicycle is a dream that many people wish to come true in their life.

Many times I thought about having my own bicycle. It would be so useful!

I want to dedicate some special posts for the stunning bikes that are turning heads, at least mine, on the long wide street of Ruhuha.
I love them! They are colourfully painted and decorated with meaningful words . Their owners are proud of what the bike means for them and for the community. The personalisation of the bikes is outstanding. This one is a taxi express!
I could not stop photographing them.
The driver is more than happy to pose for a picture. “Simba” in Swahili is Lion. Is “Tujyende Simba” Lion of Judah?

The Hebrew word “Shalom” means peace.
 “Mana” is God in Kinyarwanda.

Hiace is a van used as a mini bus in Rwanda. So you can imagine what this bike can take. “Bring it on!”
How cool this bike is!
