Elaine and I went for a cycle to a market in Ilala. She used to live near there for 4 years and we went to her old place and then to a juice bar. During conversation over a passion juice, I asked her what she is doing for Christmas, which evolved quickly into Christmas in Tanzania. She said they don't have Santa Claus here but they do in Zimbabwe. She asked a guy opposite us if he knew who Santa Claus was. He said no.
She then asked the guy who owned the juice bar (who Elaine knows) if he knew who Santa Claus was. He said yes, Elaine said, "really?" He then said in Swahili, "He's a footballer in Europe."
We both must have looked really rude but we just could not stop laughing at his answer. It was brilliant.
