nairobi has been rough... on my first trip alone to the city center the mob has kicked unconscious a man suspected to be a thief. i hate this city. still, it feels suprisingly comfortable not to be watched and pointed out all the time. during the whole day i heard 'mzungu' only once.
it's such an interesting country, especially now that i can compare it to tanzania. you can see an enormous difference, which i would put on the carb of socialism vs. capitalism. i've thought about it a lot. maybe when i'm home, i'll write some more about this and about all the other interesting things (lately the blog has been really shallow and boring, sorry. it'll get better.)
i've been staying at two glennies' place. they're cool (as their flatmates even more so - a merry UN company: a kenyan family with a hyperactive son, a german, a czech, an indian and a canadian... :)) they are working in the mathare slum with a project called shootback (in MYSA). have you seen 'born into brothels'? it was inspired and based on the same idea as shootback! kids with cameras documenting their lives and the situation.
and tonight i'm picking up my mum from the airport!!! it's sooo great!!
