I arrived in Nairobi last night, quite exhausted after 35 hours of travel. I collapsed onto my bed and didn't awake until 9 this morning. I is presently about 10:45, and I am sitting outside of the hostel, speaking with a Japanese guy from Princeton who is doing an internship with the World Bank. There are a few interesting people here, my roommate is an electrical engineer from Stanford (although he is now running an internet based stock trading company), and on the back porch is an old man who has been wandering the continent off and on for 20 years.
I'm about to go out with Abdirashid, the guy who was raised in the camp, and tomorrow I will be meeting with the the director from CARE to arrange my transportation and stay within the camp. It is fairly nice where I'm at, and certainly a bargain at 7 dollars a day, even by local standards.
Aside from that, the weather is beautiful (warm not hot, no humidity, and quite breezy) , the trees are interesting, and the air smells slightly 'burnt."
Later,
M
