So that's why the milk tastes funny...

Kenya is the third largest tea-exporting country in the world. So it's no surprise that as we would walk about visiting different people where they live we would often be served tea. They like their tea very sweet with lots of milk. Now, the first time I tried some I had a hard time finishing the cup. What that women is doing there is preparing a large gourd to hold milk. They burn the inside to make it hollow, and rub a very smelly black substance around the outside to seal it. This container leaves the milk tasting very different, as if camels milk didn't taste different already. Try some of that in your tea.

And like usually, no I did not do any post production work on this. The colors of her beads are the actual colors- no adjustments were made.
