Hello people,
I wish you shining stars in the
morning! lol
People asking me a lot about
where I'm just now. Country called Kenya or as some Kenyan name it ''
Kenyatta''. Let me highlight for you; Kenya is richest country in east-africa.
When you come here, something may suprise you. It is not as poor as you think.
Contrarily, They have one of biggest sugar can production and tasty coffee and
and the tea. ( Kenyan people drinking the leaves tree mixed with milk and
sometiems adding up more water in )
When I reached to Nairobi where
one of biggest slams community is living in all kenya and carrying all
financial burden of the country, I noticed that of what we use and how we live
in our own countries in Europe just have been reflected to this big city too.
You find all opportunities including, clubbing, coffee places, cool
restaurants, computer services, banking, high hotels etc. As we knew from the
reality of the world, They say '' money talks''. What I felt is that
inflation is high and can't be controlled by State appearently. That's why how
we see the prices are high. If you see huge cash papers called Shillings, don't
be suprised. This is official currency of Kenya. I felt most interesting when I
dropped to Nairobi was that ; I wanted to buy safaricom simcard since I have
nothing else to use but Vodafone. I attempted to enter in one of shop and
security scanned me and searched on me like 5 mins. After all, I came in shop
and noticed that They don't have any simd card left, oh Haliluyahh all been
sold out ! :)
Kenyan people is speaking Swahili and
English together as official language. I feel like they speak as smooth as
native british people. When they speak in Swahili, I laught a lot, I like the
way they talk.. They have different hues that define the confirmation for one
another. Their most famous hue is '' hii,, hee, hee, hii'' which
means '' oh yes, or got it...'' as far as I understood. They speak fast in
Swahili. I just learnt a few words from Tv and friends of mine living in
Kilgoris ( where I live too :P) like... Karibu sana (welcome to you ) ,
kuca ( come) , Unaintwo nanyni ( what is your name ?) ,(assante > thanks ) that's all so far :P
I live in Kilgoris located in West of
Kenya. I'm so close to National Reserve Masai Mara ( in fact, it is most famous
Safari park in all kenya ) I'm surrended by Ksii, Kisumu, Nakuru, Rongo
and Eldoret. People living in Kilgoris is humble and warm. Prices are low in my
view. However , you would need to go out of Kilgoris to buy your needs such us
fish and some European market's stuff or may be fresh milk and eggs.
You can eat most delicious pineapples
and mangos ever ! :)
I did not go Masai Mara yet , but I
will ... just trying to adopt into culture.. Particularly where I live is
called '' Masai Land''. Masai tribes are living just near my house. We're close
to Lake Victoria too which is deepest and Largest lake in Africa. At the
moment, those who may go to Reserve Park, They will be witnessed with migration
of spotted animals !
People in Kilgoris could able to live
in houses with single-room, two or three rooms depending on your budget.
I like to watch Kenyan Tv's. There are funny programmes and Argentine's
soap opera lol just like @ Muneca Brava by Natalia OREIRO.
On Kenyan Tv, breaking news are being
broadcasted in 2 languages with every other hour. I feel that Kenya is
developing. They have devolution and health care's improvements.
I share some photos from my trip. You
may concern with it :-)
Take care all ,
Au revoir! (Kwaheri )
