Nairobi

Back in Nairobi.

We are staying in Nairobi Uni. The weather is cooler compared to Mombasa.
Umm... what should I write?
We have the day off to get ready for the opening ceremony tomorrow.
Have done our laundries, the things get dry way faster than in Japan.
The bus ride from Mombasa was thrilling, again, with no lights by the road.
Food is tamu (tasty)!
We had chapati and chai for breakfast today, which only was 30 Khs, or about 45 yen.
If you are interested in how things cost over here, here are some examples.
Soda 300ml 70-80yen
Matatu (bus) 20-30yen
Cyber (internet) 1.5yen/minute

We have discovered the POLEPOLE and interesting cultures of Kenya in various aspects.
1. The way they walk
It is almost 1/30 of the speed in Shinjuku.
We feel like the wind is pushing us forward, and not walking.
2. The keys won't open in Hostels
We have to be really be careful when opening or closing doors.
Due to some technical problems, they will not open for about 10 minutes.
3. Confusion when ordering food
Once we start ordering different things at restaurants a big confusion stirs up.
etc. etc.

But strange to say, we never get irritated for some reason.
This must be the powers of Kenya.
We are having soooo much fun already,
and are scared what will happen to us once the conference starts.
We will be visiting various places like JICA, JETRO, etc. so check up this blog for more updates!

Qwaheri!
