Stopped by another tribal settlement. Representatives of Masai. The most famous and numerous tribe.
This time everything is clearly set up as a money-making operation for tourists. The Masai are decently dressed, speak English reasonably well, and charge for tours. They greet visitors with a welcome dance and adumu (a jumping dance where it's about who can jump highest; we jumped with them too), quickly show off their dwellings, then persistently and at length start hard-selling souvenirs at outrageous prices. Ugh, what a way to be.
Compared to yesterday's tribes, it's way too staged and not interesting at all.
PS. Still, there was something to be amazed by. These guys not only extract money from tourists but also raise livestock. Where there's livestock, there are flies (really persistent ones). The residents have learned to completely ignore the flies. So a fly crawls across your lip, you're not going to swat it. Doesn't stop you from talking. How is that even possible?
