Mzungu

Mzungu (Mmm-zoo-ngooo):  

"One who wanders aimlessly" --Swahili.

More often than not when a group of small children see me approaching they will stare in wonderment before a braver one will shout out: "See-you Mzungu !!" Then the rest will follow, running and screaming:

"Mzungu! Mzungu! Bye Mzungu!"

Imagine, me, a white male, interracting happily with children I do not  know. Imagine that happening in a Western Country. How long would I last untill I was reported to the police for 'strange behaviour' or worse, 'grooming'?

Our so-called 'devloped' society has 'devloped' so much that adults fear talking and playing with children. Western Civillisation still has some things to learn, or re-learn...
