An excellent comment, and a valid point I hadn’t covered in the article, I’m still working out what generosity looks like in this culture :-). Thanks for commenting!

Would advise not to get too concerned if you’re paying a bit more than the going rate. I’ve met some muzungus who obsess rather about this, and get quite angry. We’ve been there. But often it’s the really needy in society who provide these kinds of services, and a little bit of wealth distribution can go a long way for them. I’ve also been in situations where some one is so desperate for a sale that you can bargain them down beyond what is reasonable. That’s exploitation. Some times I’ll bargain down to the usual rate but then pay a bit extra. After all, we’re called to generosity as well.
Look forward to hearing more of your reflections!
