Rwanda

Rwanda is a relatively stable Central African country, and although not easy to get to, it is relatively easy, safe and simple to travel around. Rwandan troops however attacked other countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

By boat

Get around

Short distances can be travelled either on foot, or by velotaxi (bicycle taxi). Velotaxis are widespead, and are relatively inexpensive. A velotaxidriver will cycle, and the passenger will sit rather precariously on the back.

Slightly longer distances (indeed the whole country) can be travelled by Matatu or minibus-taxis. These white minibuses are found throughout East Africa, and are crammed full of adults, children, and anything else you can think of (bags, chickens)

Respect

Women show respect to their husbands it is also impolite to make eye contact with an elder
