There are four major languages of Rwanda including English, French, Swahili (most East African countries speak this) and Kinyarwanda. I am learning a bit of Kinyarwanda. Muraho! Amakuru? (Hello! How are you?)
Rwandan Francs. Bills come in 1,000; 2,000; and 5,000. Coins represent smaller amounts such as 50 and 100. One U.S. dollar is exchanged to be about 850 Rwandan Francs.
A bottle of water costs about 500 Rwandan Francs.
My best meal is always breakfast here. I usually have the same two local foods in the morning-chapati and sambusas. Chapati is a thin, flaky bread made with only flour, water and salt. Sambusas are made of a crispy tortilla-like shell stuffed with a meat, vegetable or potato filling. These are tasty new foods for me!
There is a song titled, "Reason with Me," that surfaces through many places that I visit around the city. It has a great African tune with catchy lyrics. Rwandans love to dance, and I have had fun with it too!
