Muzungu!

I hear that everywhere I go...

If I'm in the city it's maybe a bit more discreet as for the countryside it becomes actually a big event! Muzungu means "white person" or some say "the person that comes from far." Whatever the case, is shouted by the children in a beautiful chorus. In the countryside when we pass by car the children wave at us, run after the car, run to where we are and the less shy start touching, shaking hands. I have found myself more than one time surrounded by little ones, and I have to say I could've take them all home! Burundian children? Biological clock?
