Proudly South African political junkie who stands with Ukraine. 'Smile', they said. 'Things could be worse'. So I did, and they are.

YES! East African coffee is great. Ethiopian, Ugandan, Kenyan, Tanzanian are all good. Arabica beans grown in deep rich soil makes it strong but smooth.

And since then, expectations have changed dramatically of what constitutes an acceptable standard of living. Family would have one car. No mobile phones. No eating out. Vacations didn't include plane tickets or hotels. No streaming. Cheap education. Etc.
