Mitumba Clothes Market
No matter what type of clothing you are
looking for, you can almost certainly find it at Mitumba Market. The
large second-hand market takes place every Wedneysday and Saturday.
Although all of the clothing is
second-hand and some is not particularly good looking, with a bit of
patience, it is still very possible to find some really nice, cheap
clothes. The market also sells shoes, bags, belts and many other
things.
Even if you're not all that interested
in shopping for clothes, the market is still an interesting
experience on its own. Heaps upon heaps of clothing lies on big
tables all around the market place, and small stalls line some of the
the brown dirt paths around the market. All around, the sellers are
yelling out loudly, advertising the prices of their goods. Depending
on the weather, the market is a busy place, both hectic and noisy,
but it's definitely an experience you shouldn't miss out on if given
the opportunity to go.

If you have the time and the money,
getting some clothes sewn at a tailor is a good idea.
This tailor shop is located in a
colorful building advertising vegetable cooking oil, and it takes
about two weeks to get your clothing sewn, depending on how busy the
tailor is at the moment.
Usually, you should bring your own
fabric. When you order your clothes, the tailor will take your
measurements, which takes about ten minutes, and afterwards, you
decide on a price and when to pick up your clothes. It is also a good
idea to agree on a time to visit the shop when the clothes are almost
done, so you can try it on and possibly request some changes.
Another good advice is to bring a piece
of your own clothing to use as a template, if you wish to duplicate
something you already own.
