Bwana Style in Nairobi

B-w-a-n-a means well to do person or "boss"

I am staying with some friends here in Nairobi, Kenya. I know the wife from a religious training session. There is one husband, two sons, and one daughter. The youngest, is dennis the menace but is hilarious.

They have welcomed me in wonderful style. I am allowed to do nothing. Great food, dvds, video games, and more. They have a car and live in an appearingly nice area. I have saddly gotten hooked on a soap opera, mis 3 hermanas, spanish soap dubbed over.

As a thank you I took them to a cinema to see Narnia. It was great though a few fell asleep. The movie was at a really nice mall and I think we all felt out of place. After the movie the young boy dissappeared and we found him going to the bathroom in front of the car, in a fancy parking lot. We got away as the gaurds were coming over. Boy were those guys up tight.

Tonight I am off to Ethiopia for a week. Next wed. i go to Cairo via stop over in Sudan. If there is internet I will update. Should be great. Things seem to be pretty calm there.

Have a great new years and I look forward to seeing my family and friends soon. I miss you guys.
