Charming fish seller, Cape Maclear
2 more images

A woman sold small fish on a table beside a gravel road. Street stalls like this are typical for Malawi where self-sufficiency is crucial. A charming way of doing small business.

What to buy: Small fish from Lake Malawi.

What to pay: One fish was 50 MKW (0,35 USD).

Local prepaid SIM cards are sold in many local shops in Cape Maclear. You can buy them almost everywhere. It's much cheaper to use a local SIM card inside Malawi than a foreign SIM card.

The country code is +265.
