nice memories

You see, it is these people who were born in Zanzibar and have moved out of the country that are now looking back in nostalgia at these pics. Yet when they lived there, they had no respect for the place. if you really mean your nostalgia, come back to Zanzibar, why you living your horrible 8-5 lives in the west???

I was born at House No.2758, Mchangani St., Ngambo, Unguja and left in 1960 for studies abroad. I completed my secondary education in 1959 at the then Aga Khan Secondary School at Vuga Street. Since leaving the old country, I have resided in several East and Central African states, in Europe and presently have settled in North America. Kila la kheri na wasalaam, ndugu yenu.

I lived in Zanzibar for a year on an educational project and lived in the heart of Stone Town, very close to Hamamni Baths. I have so many wonderful memories and will go back soon I hope. Great photos of wonderful places of the world. I share your passion for travel and it's very interesting to see the places yo have been. You are very lucky. Thanks for the great memory trip!
