Mbeya to Dar es Salaam bus ride

* on bus ride today I saw people on crappy chinese made bicycles loaded up with a large blue plastic 20 gallon liquid container and 2 or three smaller yellow 5 gallon containers riding along side the highway. When I asked were they moving petrol I got a laugh. Nope beer. Beer is a term for anything that can make one intoxicated.
The story of the beer is as follows, cut a small bamboo plant and it will bleed off a clear liquid, which is the beer. take lots of it, fill plastic containers, strap dangerously to a bicycle and travel long distances.
Heres the kicker, as the beer warms up in the sunlight it ferments, this causes it to expand. It continues to expand, so they add a vent to the cap, Now you might ask, wont it just spill out? well that is why they vent it into a tube. Run the tube to an overflow you ask, nope, run it to the ground, nope. That would be wasteful. They run it to the handlebars. As extra liquid comes out they drink it.
Excess liquer and long bike rides may sound smart but I beg to differ. The gentleman telling me this story laughed a bit and said in a deadpan voice "they get whacked often". I could only assume that this means they get hit by traffic.
*on public transport I saw elephants and antelope along side the road, dont get that in your fancy shmancy states do ya? I also watched one of the worst amercian action films ever, embarrassing to be an american. all of the people on the bus were eating it up and talking suprised when the hero used a laso to capture the enemy. who had a gun by the way.
