I am back in busy and modern nairobi...hohohoho.
When I first got back to nairobi I had this reverse culture shock. stepping back into a city after being in the rural area for more than 3 weeks wasn't easy. Everything seems so loud, so modern ( too moderm), so advance..the people are so different and the world too...Had this unreal feeling about things that was going on and to make the whole experience more interesting, I went travelling with a chinese trainee and a taiwan trainee and it sort of put me into an identity crisis. hahaha
It was interesting to see the coast of Kenya actually. and it is very very wicked. Seeing the sea and feeling the coastal climate actually made me miss HK....Mobassa (The city) is occupied by a lot of india and muslim...it actually made me remember the trip to India/sri lanka last year (and made me miss hk and my dear dear aiesec teamates even more) ...anyway..we stayed in a budget hotel near the town and at 4.00am..i was woke up by those muslim broadcast and it was pretty scary (though interesting...) ..We visited this Gene Ruin site which used to be a town in the coast but was evacated. There were China's bowl and money in the museum as there was trade between China and Kenya since a long time ago...The guide there was very eadger to show me those chinese stuffs and I told them the reason why those coin of china used to have a hole in the middle...it is very interested to interact with local ppl.
It was quite an experience to travel with taiwan ppl and beijin ppl at the same time. we talked about everything except politics...the beijing girl overheard the taiwan boy talking about politics with another passanger on the train and she told me not to mention anything about politics and japan unless i want an arguement. ho ho ho..
I got sick last week. Vomitted in the middle of the night and then vomit any water and things i ate the next day...but the idea of going to a that local clinic was too scary and it gave me strength to get well really soon...I just received news that the other boy who was there is vomitting ytd....i guess stomach problem is part of the typical african experience..
