Who are these guys?

[don1]

If you have travelled around the world as I have you will have seen VERY tall men

( I'm talking about people who are six feet six and above) obviously of African origin who, no matter where you go, whether it be a european country or africa or the USA stand in the street selling bags of all size and shapes, everything from womans handbags to suitcases and no matter which country you are in these bags are all the same pattern.

Who are these guys and where are they from?

Although there are several areas of Africa that produce tall, slender natives, the nomadic Masai of Kenya and Tanzania are historically well known for their above average height. A nomadic people, they were central, along with their neighbors the Kikuyu in the Mau Mau uprisings in Kenya during the 1950's, which resulted, eventually, in the independence of that country...

Aren't Watusi also very tall?

weird about the bags -- are they made of african fabrics or anything? Or gucci knock-offs -- maybe there is a knock-off factory in their home country.

I know the fakawi tribe are the opposite, and only three feet tall. I forget where they are from, but the grass is taller than them, so they have to keep jumping up and down shouting "We're the Fakawi, we're the Fakawi!!"

I have not given the tall chaps a "thorough going over' but can tell you that the bags are not too shoddy designer inspired numbers .If you want to haggle in, for example, New York you could(SHOULD you wish to) pick up a Fendi,LV,and other high class inspired designer creations for around twenty bucks or if they have had a slow day $30 for two might not be unheard of.Unfortunately one should never stand within ten feet of the real thing while in possesion of a 'hint of 'number!The scrummy mummies here in Bucks are daft enough to pay for the real thing.

Postdog are you sure its not the oomigooli tribe, they also live in areas of high bush and the men don't wear anything under their kilts and when they run through the bush they are often heard to shout ''oomigoolies''.
