this is really good, i liked it….so you can tell a lot about a particular culture if its past, present of future oriented by how fast they do things. Now where does this place Tanzania..?..hah
I think like southern Italy, by far one can characterise our Tanzania as past, and/or present hedonistic society. Of course his definitions can totally crumble in describing societies in Africa, but I believe in Tanzania most of us tend not to direct most of our activities as a future oriented people.
