Napkins or Toilet Paper?...That is the Question.

My favorite part about getting burgers at a local african place last night...

In the middle of our table is a large bag of tissue...to use for napkins....or so we were led to believe. In the middle of the meal, my friend got up to use the restroom; which, by the way was through the middle of the kitchen where they are grilling the burgers (yum). He disappears into the cooking area only to come out a minute later. Our waiter comes to our table, picks up the tissue and proceeds to hand it to my friend who goes back through the kitchen into the bathroom. Ah...guess he has to go #2 we decide amongst ourselves...he can't hide that now. Our waiter then proceeds to take a pretty kleenex box off another table and put it on ours.

So..moral of the story...bring your own hand sanitizer and napkins. That...or next time we go there and see the bag of tissue instead of a pretty kleenex box...we know where it's been!

We all agreed that no matter how long you have been in africa and get used to its crazy quirks...there will always be things that that just make you go...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. :)
