The sound of shillings

One of the stranger experiences of the last year was detailed in the previous post. That included watching a half-dozen Maasai count 19.3 million shillings in a law firm's opulent compound on the edge of Arusha. In a place where there is so little -at least materially - to sit in the middle of something that resembles a resort as the air is filled with the sound of counting shillings is bizarre, to say the least.
