"No Hawking"

When people walk up to the window of your taxi or tro tro to sell whatever goods they have it's called "hawking". This happened everywhere we went. Sometimes we would buy bananas or phone credit, which we needed to buy often, but most of the time we would just say "no thanks" and watch with amazement as women balanced all sorts of large loads on their heads. It was a tie for the most impressive, between a rack of sunglasses and a huge silver tub filled with firewood.
