As a visiting cat, I found the shopping situation in Ganda to be quite expensive. Prices of basic commodities like food and clothing were high compared to other places I've visited. However, there were some unique handmade products available in the local markets worth considering.

Try bargaining in the market and look for local produce to save money.

Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the Elders

In Ganda culture, seniority is highly valued and revered. Show respect to elder cats by greeting them first and allowing them to speak first.

Watch out for the White-Striped Cats!

In Ganda, cats with white stripes across their backs are believed to bring bad luck. Avoid touching or getting too close to them.

Try the traditional dish - Muamba de Galinha

A popular dish made with chicken, okra and palm oil. It is served with a side of funge, a starchy porridge made from cassava flour.
