People will build anything anywhere in Mozambique. Some investigators had a pretty good sized house. Then to save money they rented half of it to another family which is common. Then one day we arrived and there was a banca or little store out front. Then a few weeks later, they had created a little bar next to the banca. Then wood for sale started appearing in front of the house. But today, we saw the movie theater that had been built on the side of the house with woven bamboo palm leaves. This is the type of movie theater we see everywhere. They have a television inside and a big speaker. We were told the movies go on until 11pm at night. It costs 1 metacail or about 4 cents to get in. A better deal you can't find anywhere. You can see the movie covers and times posted out front. I wonder how Tom Cruise would feel about this? Other establishments have a similar set up, but aren't so bold in their advertising as they are showing porn inside, but still for the same price, or so we hear. There is no sense of personal space here; it just drives me crazy. But, the people in the poor areas can do nothing about it, since the dona (owner) lets it happen. We are currently deciding if we should have a date night next Friday night and go???
