Day 4. I woke up like 1am after 5 hrs of sleep. passed out too early yesterday. lol
I caught up with emails, and started arranging my luggage upstairs.
I had mandazi and tea as usual around 8am.
When folks woke up, my brother-in-law and I discussed about estates market and energy plants.
Estates market shooting up and being uncontrollable, he says that is because of somali money. the pirating money. somalis are operating pirating off the coast, attacking ships. They use this money to speculate and invest on estates. landlords don't have control over the rent. Too much investment and getting a wild ride becauseof this crazy amount of money.

We headed downtown. We were walking and chatting to get to the main street where we took '14-sitter'.

Went to get a new number for my phone because my nephew blocked my phone and I forgot my PIN number. haha Also we went to a supermarket and checked out those vegetables we always get nutritions from. sukuma, managu and others. we bought 5 yogurt drinks and went for intended shopping, which ended up in vain because we were running out of time. we ended up doing only windowshopping for pants and shoes. never got to buy those, just teasing those clerks. lol

We met up with our friends in front of KCB, and headed back home. We had lunch and I had Uji(porriage) before I had to leave.

My family came in the same car to see me off at Yaya center. I was already missing them and I united with my boss and other colleagues and headed to my new house in Lavington. It felt pretty weird to be speaking Japanese with Japanese people in Nairobi. lol

I was welcomed at a nice house and we had a toast. Very fun people. :) I was introduced to my room. very nice and big. we had dinner and chatted for a while before I went to sleep.

Now my first day starts! :D
So, Day 3 went great as well.
We went to a family friend's house and had dinner together.
There was brown ugali! other new foods were beans and manago? sth like sukuma wiki.

i also forgot to write about our South C neighborhood.
you see christians hanging out on the street. Kids playing. Then also, women covered with cloth are walking around. christians and muslims are living together. It is a very nice scene.

We walk from the house. in about 10 minutes, we come to the corner where these NISSAN cars are packing people. they call it 'passenger' or '14-sitter'. it's not a bus or taxi. This NISSAN can take in 14 customers. 4 of us, we got on this 14-sitter and headed downtown. i think it was only 50 shillings/pers, and took us maybe 20 minutes :D

i'll probably write random stuff like this from now too. lol
i will also try to put some pics n vids.. I'll try. (it's 3.1mbps. that's right lol)
まだモデムは買えていませんw
が、携帯を買いました!街を相当歩いた後、ATMで初引き出しもしました。

ダウンタウンはとにかく飽きない。
とにかく色んな事が起こりまくってます。
みんなでseasonsというレストランでbuffet。うまかったー、最高!!
マトゥンボもあってもう取りまくりました。
カチュンバリもうまい!
こっちのライスにかなりはまってます^^

Uhuru Parkも途中で散策。いい感じの池と芝生でいい感じ。
疲れたときにフルーツ屋さんで40シリングで盛り合わせをみんなでガッツリ食べました。

今、家に帰ってきてシャワーを浴び終わったら初停電がありました。
ロウソクを用意したけど、2分後に復活。まーよかったよかった。

とにかく昨日ほとんど寝てないので、これからnapしたいと思います。
