... which you give all shots in the butt) to a few babies beacuse they start screaming. All the patients are Maasai and where the traditional Maasai garb, many warries with their sticks...and most have extremely enlarged earlobs, shoes made out of tires, and their bottom front 2 teeth cut out by a knife when they are little. It is humbling how much everyone likes to have us around. Many of the mothers are often 15 years old ...

... driving by with a local restuarant owner who also has a taxi business. He says he will take me home after he takes them to El Doret. Now let me explain - I already passed through El Doret on my way here. It was two hours the way back. But Sarah and her mother needed to go to El Doret to fly to Nairobi (mom did not like the bus ride). So they load my luggage into the taxi and off we go. There's this German guy in the back along with Hasan (the driver's) cousin. At least this gave ...

... to hospital but nothing could be done, but after travelling across the country to visit the doctor, she could now walk with the aid of a stick. We were all very sceptical about this, but maybe it is true - who knows! The rest of the day we spent relaxing and going in to town to visit the bank etc, and in the evening we went out to 40s and met up with the Leap Group for another good night out. On the Saturday we were travelling to Mombassa for a tour of the ...

... beginning to get boring - theres only so much gardening we can take! In the afternoon we went on another game drive. This time, finally, it was much much better. We saw a female herd of 6 elephants - the mother, 2 sisters, 1 young elephant and 1 baby. We watched the elephants for ages from a viewing platform in the sanctuary, before moving on, and coming face to face with a bachelor herd of 5 elephants. These elephants were walking towards the road and came right around the ...

... We were really hesitant to begin with, considering we were a bunch of Wazungus that really had no place in this conflict...but after some convincing our professor told us it would be good for us to tag along and get a better grasp on the situation...so the next morning we set out with these KWS guys. I seriously can't describe the ridiculousness of the situation, so I suggest just checking out the pictures. Basically the pastoralists hangout just outside the ...

... drive at Masi Mara Game Reserve. Here we saw zebra, buffalo, gazelle, warthogs, antelope, toki's, giraffes and elephants. We must admit that we were a little dissapointed not to have seen any big cats, but kept our fingers crossed as we had an evening game drive after we had lunch and set up our tents at the camp. The light wasn't great and it was raining, but we pulled the sides of the truck up and took of on another drive. After ...

... going 80-90 mph... You play chicken until the last second. Honestly. :) But I survived :) Its actually a fun roller coaster, but don't worry :) I promise to add pictures soon, its just taking a while to get situated. Here is a funny story. At school on friday, I was walking on a dirt path and a cow on a leash cut in from on me. It was pretty hilarous. She just pushed me out of the way. This moring Sarah, Lauren, and I played with the children of ...

... ein Loewe direkt am Strassenrand. Einfach so!! Unsere erste Vermutung war, dass er wohl ueberfahren wurde, weil er von Stalkern mit Kameras foermlich umzingelt war und eigentlich haette Reisaus nehmen sollen, doch er lag einfach nur da und hatte die Augen geschlossen. Als der dann aber genervt, aber irgendwie zu muede, um sich aufzuraffen, in die Runde aufschaute, war klar, dass er noch zu hundert Prozent am Leben war. Nach ein paar Minuten (die Zahl der Autos hatte ...

... auch ein bisschen zwischen zwei Welten, wenn auch weit von d** Welt entf**nt, in d** d** kenianische Ottonormalv**brauch** lebt. Nichtsdestotrotz geht es von morgen an fu** gute drei Tage auf eine ausgedehnte Safari in die suedlichen Nationalparks Kenias, wo wir all** Wahrscheinlichkeit nach auf uns**e Kosten kommen w**den. Zum Glueck kuemm**n diese ganzen Menschensorgen den gemeinen afrikanischen Elefanten nicht - und das ist auch gut so! Von den Straenden Kenias, Brisko

... me. I can't remember much else to be truthful, as survival instinct kicked in and I forgot all that I had been told to do if an attack like this happened. It is a common dinner party conversation in Arusha "So have you been mugged yet?" I always used to hate the discussion. To say 'no' was tempting fate, and even the most unsuperstitious person was looking for wood to touch, and if the person answered 'yes' there would be a horror story to tell. I just knew that the ...
