Number Four: Blonde Hair Attention

Anna has long, beautiful blonde hair.  It serves as a magnet to Rwandans and Arabs alike.  In Rwanda we get lots of attention because we are white.  In Dubai there are lots of white looking people, but not so many blondes. 


Here’s a story of something that happened in Dubai that could just as easily happen in Rwanda.


One day we were sitting on a bench waiting for a bus when a young boy and his mother walked by.  They quickly turned around, and the boy came running for Anna.  The mom asked if she could take their picture.  Anna obliged.  The boy was happy.  The End.


Moral of the story is, if you have blonde hair and hate attention, dye it before you come to Rwanda.  If you love attention, dye your hair blonde before you come to Rwanda.


Dubai is way more used to tourists, so don’t worry about hair dye before you visit.  And if you’re worried when you get there, everything in the world is available in Dubai, so you can just buy it in a store on any street corner.
