Telegram is a messenger where I post short travel notes. This page is a self-hosted backup of that channel.

Made it to Dar es Salaam! 🎉 You can get your visa on arrival (they let in visitors from almost everywhere). But first you've gotta fill out a form. Nothing complicated about it, except you need to use a pen to fill it out.

The local border guards apparently decided that by 2020, nobody travels without their own pen anymore, so they just put the blank forms on the tables with nothing else.

Meanwhile, airport staff refuse to share pens with arriving passengers. So people are basically borrowing pens from each other left and right. Big shoutout to some Spanish travelers who came to my rescue. Otherwise I'd have been hanging around the airport until my return flight! :)
