Want to buy a kite? Or how about a goldfish - complete with bowl? Car floor mats? Sunglasses? The Economist? A TV antenna?
All these and more can be yours - from the front seat of your car!
Driving in downtown Nairobi, it is very common to see hawkers walking down the middle of the street, trying to sell items to people as they sit in their cars waiting for the red light to change or the traffic to move on. And, yes, we have seen all of the above being sold. Though we aren't sure who buys the things. You are on the way to church and you just happen to think 'yes, I do need to buy a new shower curtain - and I can get one at this stop light!' We certainly haven't purchased anything this way and except for newspapers, I don't think I have seen anyone buying any other items from their car windows, either.
