Roll up, roll up! Mundele visits tailor’s workshop!
Expats who venture beyond their habitual haunts tend to attract a lot of attention.

Within minutes, the place was full of curious onlookers who took turns to interview me on all aspects of my life.
This sort of thing can be bothersome for those who prefer to be left alone, but it’s much more fun for everyone if you play along and engage in a bit of repartee....
