Mwanza is a modern city

Mwanza is a very modern city.

We have traffic lights (1 set, but we have them). They are so special that when you are in front of a red light you have about 10 minutes to admire them before they turn green. I heard for a lay missionary who has been living here for already 16 years that when the lights were installed people brought chairs out to sit and look at this world wonder.

We also have many ATM’s, sadly enough most do not work for our passes, and you should not try to get money at the end of the month when all the people have gotten their pay check and the lines at the ATM are easily an hour long or more.

We also have a drive in. This is really a drive in, not a drive through. You have to enter from the main road (a very busy one) and then later back out on this main road again. It is very entertaining if you happen to sit there for a meal.
We also have an airport, with good connection to Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Nairobi.

And we have some big electronic bill boards, including a really large one of about 4 by 8 meters
