... journey of our 11 months traveling. <br><br>Things didn't start well when there wasn't any room in the matatu and I more or less had to hang out the door for most of the drive to Ukunda. When we arrived there we hung around for 30 minutes getting hassled by some guy who wanted me to give him money for a 50 pence English coin, he didn't seem to understand that I was from Ireland and didn't want it? We got on the bus at 8am and reached the Likoni Ferry to ...

... shillings to go to his hot house and wait with 40 sick Kenyan's or ask the local vet (who'll you'll remember chopped off Mickey and Toto's balls) to come to the house and inject me for 50 shillings - Not rocket science - I choose the latter (funds are tight)!! So here I am with the local vet feeling the sting!! But I kept my balls!! ..... I realise for some of you urbanites in the Home Counties my blog takes a leap from hey this looks like fun to ...

... every year - the average mortality age of an African is 38 in the UK its 78!! They die at an age that we are just getting comfortable. It doesn't take too much to work out it's pretty bad over here; once you get off your sun lounger at one of the several 5* Resorts and walk half a mile down the road - it runs over you with the power of a freight train. Maybe I did come here to exploit the corruption?? Anyway in four days my priorities are ...

... around generally and we're pretty sure its not just because 'non residents' pay at least 5 times as much as Kenyans! Apparently the tourist industry has suffered massively from the riots over election results earlier this year. There doesnt seem to be any trouble now, although we have noticed a very vocal media in Kenya, who have been incredibly critical of a government bill to 'gag' the media. We particularly like the new item on 'why people are p*ssed off' !

... and studied Aeronautical Engineering. He decided not to pursue a career in the sky and opted to 'devote his life to Allah' On the one hand I was angry with myself for judging and assuming MHM was a terrorist, as I get extremely annoyed with the Americans and British when they do the same thing and arrest them (the Arabs) at airports and even schools! On the other hand, I had sufficient evidence to be suspicious, especially when I calculated that ...

... aika ahdasta oli toisen luokan hytissa kuuden immeisen kanssa... Kahen ja puolen metrin korkeudessa keikuin punkallani kauhuissani yon lapi... Pusikossa vilhati kiraffii ja asemilla lasten valkoiset hymyt haikasi silmia. En ihan heti kokemusta uusisi; viimesena paivana tunsin olevani marsu liian pienessa hakissa. Darissa vietettiin yo, ihan tarpeeksi kauan. En oikeen tykanny (voi olla koska liikuttiin illalla vahan kyseenalaisella alueella: Kiriaku. Ei kannata ...

... dance, and it was great. Sister Tibebwa and sister Woletti were there skanking hard all the way from Ethiopia. I met some other d.j.'s and told them what I knew about Shashamane. Around 10 or 11, Asma and Jane showed up to make sure I got home safe. I told them they'd be in the dance for a while to see me home. We ended up skanking until 3. Asma walked home with me. She was scared to death. Maybe it isn't safe, but "though I walk through the valley of the shadow.... Jah is my ...

... oppassen. Ik kon <br> net op tijd een meisje weg duwen dat haar tanden al in mijn arm had gezet. <br> Liefdesbeten, noemden de begeleiders dat. Nou, toch liever niet! Dat specifieke <br> meisje was ook continu andere kinderen aan het slaan en schoppen, en dingen <br> aan het afpakken, en zelf heel hard aan het krijsen als ze een klap terug <br> kreeg. <br><br> <br><br> Wat een gedoe. Ik zou echt nooit met geestelijk gehandicapten ...
