We also watched TV for a while which I enjoyed immensely. ITV comes from Dar and with an aerial booster you can get a good signal. Other people’s adverts always seem funnier:

• There’s the black middle class family playing charades that promotes tooth paste,
• The couple who’s car breaks down in the countryside and because the "hip" guy is on the wrong mobile phone network they have to hitch a lift home on a trailer carrying livestock;
• And the luxury coach service between Dar and Arusha with clichéd images – business woman reading the Financial Times, lovey couple holding hands and smiling at each other, enthusiastic child waving at a lone Maasai on a craggy outcrop (and of course the Maasai waves back), "in flight" video – coffee – toilet. Air conditioned and quick (roads permitting) - Grandma and Grandpa meeting the coach as it arrives (presumably on time).
