One of the most visible differences between the developing and developed worlds is the abundance of labor and labor-intensive processes in the developing world. Nearly every day in Rwanda I observe someone doing a job that was mechanized or automated at least one or two decades ago in most parts of the developed world. The abundance of cheap labor and the unreliability of electricity here combine to create employment in tasks that are menial and sometimes downright comical. I suppose the bottom line is that when you can’t rely on machines

This is a big city in Rwanda-Africa, how a people work around on the street

Now I must say that at times I appreciate and enjoy the benefits provided by the human over the machine. Instead of fumbling with a Metro-card on the bus and getting flustered if I don’t have enough credit, here I can wait for the conductor to ask me to pay and sometimes I even negotiate a cheaper fare if I’m going only a few stops. Then again, if I’m transferring to another bus line I don’t get the discount that my Metro-card would accord me.

Review Kigali at 15h00-17h30'

Kigali city review 2014. Area: 730 km²
Weather: 17°C, Wind 0 km/h, 100% Humidity

Kigali, with population of almost 1 million, is the capital and largest city of Rwanda. It is situated near the geographic center of the nation.

With little options that tend to draw the same crowd, some complain it is easy to get bored. We set out on an investigation of Kigali’s hotspots; what they had to offer, what to avoid and where to go when.
