Tanzania-Zambia Railway dining car
poorly equipped does not provide water
knew the time has come to dinner, unlike China, the passenger compartment is not in the rest of the meal, but to a special dining car, food price is not expensive, and in the local cost of an ordinary restaurant roughly the same, the food provided mainly in the eastern and southern Africa, more common CIMA (Nshima), in Kenya called Ugali, but relatively hard more. It is mainly made of corn flour, corn flour poured into boiling water stirring constantly cemented cake-like, and then together with meat or vegetables. CIMA is also relatively unique way of eating, locals usually pull a piece from the plate and held in the hand kneading to make it gluten Road again, and then dipped in gravy and soup to enjoy together. Since more than half a year has been living in Zambia, we have become accustomed to this way of eating, when the crew of these foreigners do not see our knife and fork, but as skilled as the local hands, his face showing a particular surprised and delighted.
but then we gradually found some problems, it may be because time is too long, the conditions are particularly rough on the train. First of all, the car does not provide water, which means that within 3 days after, we can not wash, water can only be maintained by buying mineral water. In addition, our two cars also lock the door is not tight, and the glass doors have long been missing out. Although this is somewhat let down, but did not affect our passion.
train to run a leisurely, very smooth. Antelope often have hobbled down along the railway to pass through Titaiqingying. Each to a station, or when passing through some villages, there will be many children ran to greet us next to the railway, some of them gathered around the train completely stopped next to some as the start of the train running. When we gave them some food, they all laughed merrily. Most children are barefoot, clothes worn, his face full of pure laughter.
looking out the window quickly back to the scene, my thoughts could not help but return to history. 30 years ago, when the Chinese people in the construction of this railway, are faced with the difficult environment, how ah! It is understood that, for the construction of the railway, just 70 out of the last century, the plight of the Chinese government provides interest-free loans 9.88 billion yuan, the construction at the expense of dozens of Chinese railway workers. They overcome many difficulties, before and after the project took a full 10 years. Suddenly, I seem to understand why the railway is considered a symbol of friendship between Chinese and African people.
