Stony dusty street along a restaurant and a clothing shop. Laundry bar soup advertising on top. The people wash clothes by hands and they can wash their hands before entering the restaurant.

Creative Ugandan economy. In the brave saloon they make famous african hair for nearby everywoman. Thankfully Covid-19 you can wash your hands for free now. Before Covid-19 it was not possible even if here are more dangerous sickness like Ebola around. Covid-19 makes our all lifes better. This shop is combined with potato selling women. They call potatoes "Irish" and sweet potatoes just potatoes. On the lines there are small packages of tea. The modern mama can combine her saloon experience with shopping excitement. Stressless economy.

Everybody on his way. Everything how it is. Only one person is watching in the dark shadow. The photographer has time to take a photo.

Mega bananas. Available at the street. Of course they are more plantains than bananas. But there are some variations in between. This here are very big ones.

Great street photos. They give some good insight into what life is like there.

Before Covid-19 it was not possible even if here are more dangerous sickness like Ebola around. Covid-19 makes our all lifes better.

How was it not possible to wash hands before? and how does covid make your lifes better?

Could you elaborate?

Thanks for the insights! :>

Indeed it was not possible washing hands. Even in cheap restaurants not. This was really desperate in Uganda before Covid-19. You got flu like diseases very easily here. Now you can wash/desinfect your hands at every corner. Of course I wrote this words with little irony but it's true.

But of course I don't support Mrs. Merkel and her police state attitude in Germany. Please change this that normal people can visit Germany again. 🇩🇪❤️
