Being a Saturday Wahid (my Swahili teacher) said we should meet a 4pm and go out somewhere. We went to the Mao "stadium" in Zanzibar Town where Wahid paid TS500 ($0.50) each for us to get in. We watched a Zanzibar premiership football game between Jangombe Taifa and Kikwajuni. It was a good game with Kikwajuni holding a 1-0 lead for most of the first half. Jangombe were by far the better supported, and much to the crowd's delight eventually equalised.

Had a coconut at half-time. A really enjoyable afternoon.
