The Kigali Barber's Chair Day

The barber shop near the Kimironko Market has a green chair and a mirror with a crack in the corner. You sit down and the barber asks about your week, then trims your hair with careful precision. A good barber makes you feel like the most important person in the room, even for twenty minutes.

Regional/Cultural Day

The Isombe Reheat Day

In Kigali, the leftover isombe from last night's dinner is even better today, the cassava leaves soaked in peanut sauce. You scoop it onto a plate with some rice, and the flavors are deeper, like they had time to become friends. Leftovers are a second chance to taste what you were too hungry to appreciate the first time.
