10. "mzungu! mzungu!" - it just means foreigner but they yell it at us everywhere we go
9. "mwenda!" - a slang kind of work for girl but they only use it for white girls... that's the next least creative one.
8, "Hey... Mambo." - they throw the swahili greetings at us then if we dont answer they yell louder but if we do they go off our swahili script and then we have no idea what's going on.... perfect.
7. "Hello my friend!!" - can't even tell you how much i'm not your friend, weird old man....
6. "Ohh where are you going?? I will take you!" - anyone with any kind of mode of transportation at their disposal tries this. Half the time we're actually on the daladala or in a taxi or something too which makes it even more rediculous
5. "Ohhhhh my wife! my wife!!" - everyone wants a whitey for their wife... some of them just get right to the point
4. "Girl!... Girl look ! look!!" - I look over and the guy is dancing on his pikipiki to music he cranks up and then tries to get me to come for a ride with him.... nooooooooo
3. "MWENDAAA!! WUCHA GONA DO MAN WUCHA GONA DO!!" - this guy learned his englich from watching Cops or Bad Boys or something... he was yelling that at us from across the street until we were out of sight. I still don't know if he was drunk or just a little crazy or both. :P
2. "You have a husband... but you don't have a Tanzanian husband!" - a guy on a pikipiki drove beside me down the road and wanted to be my tanzanian husband and take me wherever i wanted to go for free. He probably followed me for about a block :P
1. Rando: "Can I have your signature?" ... Linda: "Umm.. Why?" ... Rando: "For LOVE!!!" - definitely the most creative one out of them all and completely unexpected. :P
