Its only that I couldn't imagine mawinder leaving his 75k-a month-rent kileleshwa apartment, then puts 1k fuel in his premio/subaru and heads to the other side of town, parks outside a mitumba shop and starts to bargain for mitumba shoes (while clutching a 65k Samsung S4).  Wazuans are a peculiar lot. Nothing peculiar here. It's all about QUALITY. You don't just spend on expensive crap for the heck of it.

Get a bargain where you can. If the 'mtush' guy decided to open a shop in an Up Market Mall and still sell similar stuff, I have a feeling, that most would still indulge. So, Location.
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

Wazuans are a peculiar lot. It's called the 'middo crass crisis' whereby one day someone is taking 10k lunch at Art Caffe and the next day he's scavenging for mtush on the other side of town.
