Old Boma, Dar es Salaam

The Old Boma of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania is one of the city's oldest buildings.[1] It is located at the crossing of Morogoro Road and Sokoine Drive, facing the harbor and adjacent to the City Hall.[2] It was built in 1866-67 by Majid bin Said, sultan of Zanzibar, close to his palace (now demolished). He also commissioned other buildings in the same area, such as the White Fathers' House.[3] Under German colonial rule it was restored and enlarged. Distinctive features of the building include the zanzibari-style carved wooden door and coral stone walls.

The Boma now houses the Dar es Salaam Centre for Architectural Heritage (DARCH) which is a tourist information center and also has a permanent exhibition on the architectural evolution of Dar es Salaam.

gollark: The trouble is that it's hard to have that sort of thing not be easily detectable.
gollark: Anyway, I wrote some examples I think should be useful for the `string.dump` page, so you can look there.
gollark: In some cases, for simple code, you can do some REALLY obfuscated obfuscation, but that's time consuming and hard.
gollark: Or, dump it to bytecode and put the bytecode string in your program (use `textutils.serialise` to make a valid string literal).
gollark: Well, there are lots of ways. First, you can minify it using... a minifier.
