    Personal highlights

    1. Pate Island: totally untouristic and rather remote island in the Indian Ocean
    2. Pate Town: pretty well-built houses without any traces of modernity or luxery
    3. Inhabitants: living in very poor conditions, woman are shy and men are curious
    4. Old Town: crumbling ruins of old Arabic houses, with many stories and tales
    5. Chinese: there are many, yet unproven reports of ancient Chinese travelers
