OK, so maybe Nairobi isn't exactly paradise... in fact, I'm really missing my own home back in my dusty, dirty, smelly, sweaty place. But I'm enjoying some of the luxuries of life here. I went with some friends to a lovely mall this morning, and bought some luxury items like nice smelling handcream, fresh milk, contact lens solution, bacon, and flea remedy for Zane. I even had a lovely sandwich with real beef and chicken, all oooweey and goooweey in bbq sauce and slathered in melted cheese. Mmmm... very nice.
I think I'm experiencing a bit of culture shock, actually. Nice roads, beautifully clean shops where you can get anything you want! It's nice to be here for a bit.
But there is still a little bit of Africa here. The zipper on my skirt broke for the second time today, so I took it to a little dukka right outside our gate. There is a tailor who sits there, so for $1, I'm getting a new zipper put into my skirt. I'll pick it up on my way back home from the office here where I'm Internetting for a while. It's nice to still have a little bit of Africa outside your front door!
I'm also listening to an interview that my cousin did in his church a few weeks ago. So far, it's really good - I'm proud of that cousin of mine. You can listen to it, too, as it's posted on the web at the New Hope Church website.
Part of it is talking about Internet addiction. Yikes! I think I'm actually addicted to the Internet. I guess the first step is admitting your addiction, right?! So now I can do something about it. I think the next few weeks is going to be good for that, since I'll be stopping pretty much cold turkey! But I'll still get my emails... so you can keep emailing me, even if I don't post very often...
