I like very much those “twin” names. They are funny. Do you remember Puka Puka or Lapu Lapu?
Boda boda – the motorcycle taxis are the main means of public transport in Juba. You have to agree the price before you jump on. It is 2-5 sudanneese pounds, depending on the distance.
In South Sudan they still use Sudaneese currency. In the bank or official exchange office 1 USD is worth about 3 pounds. But the money changers on the street they will give you 3,40 and more.
I took boda boda to go to Konyo Konyo market – one of the biggest in the city. It is colorful, but the supply of the goods is poor – Juba is far from the world, and everything comes via long way through Kenya and Uganda. And that’s why it is more expensive! To buy western food and drinks go to JIT supermarket in Juba Town. It is expensive! I prefere to buy banana, mango and pineapple on the streets…
