What the creator captured
Davud Akhundzada realized he lost significant value by using the official airport exchange rate instead of the much higher black market rate. Despite this, he was touched by the kindness of a local who paid his bridge toll and enjoyed exploring the vibrant, busy atmosphere of the Malawian central market. He spent much of his time navigating the food stalls and interacting with friendly vendors while trying to avoid 'mzungu' pricing.
