Amazing Race Goes to Malawi | 01 Nov 2011

Guess where this week's episode of "The Amazing Race" took place?

Yep...MALAWI!  I am pretty excited about this for a number of reasons:

  1. Watching footage of Malawi and the people just makes me smile
  2. They visited the main market in Old Town and even went to the fabric section to work with the tailors.  This is where I buy the fabric for Dsenyo's products!
  3. Tourism plays a key role for countries as they develop.  Because Malawi is a land-locked country and is a bit off the beaten path, their tourism industry is pretty tiny.  Any exposure, like this show, is great for Malawi!  
Episode 6: Watch now Episode 7: Watch now (also in Malawi!)

I received my satchel in lightening fast time. This bag/purse is absolutely gorgeous and is clearly made with quality care. It is big enough for my laptop, which I LOVE. I had previously been carrying around a separate purse and laptop bag, so this takes care of that issue. I've received a lot of compliments and love telling people it is handmade. Money well spent!!
