So now you'll ask me about my (my ) Swahli. Well, I've borrowed a course with audiocassettes (that I can't listen to), that turned out to be a phrase book. However, now I know what's the Swahili for toilet paper - makaratasi ya choo, and candy - halua.
Other "news": a long red silk skirt from The Salvation Army for 2.99 Canadian. Klavka wears a pair of thick and warm trouses - blue with yellow dragons - and even without that famous hole (export model, for Chinatowns) - from the same shop.
A funky stuff is the cashew nuts butter (it's even stickier than the peanut butter) - fair trade shop. Then, @ St. Lawrense marketplace in Toronto one can buy a little jar of red wine jelly with the taste of vin chaud. There is also a good choice of little figurines of maple sugar. These things are more expensive than the clothes.
