A night out in Nairobi
(Boredom = Fake eyelashes)
Since I have nothing better to write about right now I’m going to tell you a little about where and what you can do on a night out here in Nairobi, because I’m a teenager and it would go against my nature to not go out and party now and then.
As you probably know by now I live by a lot of rules, rules that makes this place like more of a home for juvenile delinquents than “well behaved” young Swedes. To and from the parties we have to go in the school bus, it is really embarrassing to arrive at a party in a bus labeled “Swedish school”, makes us feel like we are 4 years old and on a school trip. And of course, the best rule of them all, we have to go home at 24.30, when everybody ells arrives at the party. YEAY.
Another rule is that we can only go to a couple of selected clubs, selected by the boarding, to male sure that they are extra boring… no some can be quite fun actually. Here is a little go through of the places we can go to:
Double in = Real fun, slightly run down place, perfect for those nights when the whole Swedish School goes out together. Not to many old disgusting dudes hitting on us either which is a definite plus and also the DJ is really nice and lets us play stupid Swedish music like Håkan Hellström now and then. To bad this place is going through a renovation and is at the moment closed.
Que Pasa? = Restaurant that turns into a nightclub after 10-11. Good food, old disgusting dudes during the early hours, young cute guys later (when we have to go home), big minus is just that we only get in if we are just a few students at a time.
The Loft = A nightclub that has events every week, only place where we have to pay to get in, usually only 12 year olds under 150cm that think that it is ok to hit on girls that are about 195 cm in heels… It is not! Now an then the nights at Loft have in some way become the best here though, due to being in the company of my dear friends here when they are in their best mood.
Gypsies = Never been there, is supposed to be a great place filled with loads of gay guys, which is very unusual since there is a death punishment for being gay here in Kenya. Planning to go there soon though.
Red Tape, Black Diamond and Havana = I describe these 3 places together since they are in the exact same neighborhood and since Red Tape and Black Diamond are door to door with each other which means we can go between them. Havana is a really cozy bar/restaurant where you can play pool or sing karaoke. Red Tape and Black Diamond are nightclubs; Black Diamond is probably the better one if I have to choose being that they have better music and is not completely deserted all of the time. A huge minus is all the hookers, and the old men buying the hookers, but face it T.I.A, it is impossible to run from it.
I think that is them all, except for of course Village Market, but we usually don’t go there to party, it is just a place to hang and play some bowling or sit and chat.

Tanzania
Kendwa Rocks is maybe not the most luxurious place to live but that is the beauty of it. The trip to Tanzania starts in 4 days and from then on it is an adventure, we’ve booked the hotels and looked up things to do but most of the time it will be taking the day as it comes.

Fire in downtown
It is 8 in the morning and already downtown Nairobi is on fire. The 6 men who have been accused by the Haag of playing a role in the after election violence returned to Nairobi today and the whole city is now holding its breath and hoping that the day soon will be over, without too much trouble.

Dar Es Salaam over Easter!
Josy and I are heading for Tanzania in two weeks! The buss ticket was booked today; a day in a Kenyan buss is going to be very interesting. Dar Es Salaam, Zanzibar and possibly a visit to one of the other islands in the area are what we’ve planed so far. IT IS GOING TO BE FUN!!!

The Giraffe center
The Giraffe Center
Evelina feeding a giraffe
This is Jock, the only male giraffe in the park, lucky man with 8 wives.
Me getting us a cab back to the school
I have such a pretty sister… I take a shower for a second and this is how she entertains herself.
//Here are the Giraffe centers homepage if you want to know about their work//
Elephant orphanage
Evelina and I waiting for the orphanage to open
Suddenly elephants came running towards
Big babies
After lunch they got to play in the mud, looked like loads of fun
This one reminded me of Ofelia
When we were done we went to down-town Nairobi to eat the best thing you can find in Nairobi, falafel.
//If you want to know a bit more about the amazing work that is being done at the orphanage, check out their homepage//

Uppdate
Evelina and I are having so much fun. We’ve been to an elephant orphanage, down-town Nairobi, eaten loads of good food, been thrown into the pool by Josefin and gotten manicures, pedicures and massages, life is good. Sadly it’s all over tomorrow and life will go back to normal, but first we’re going to have one more day of fun. I have loads of photos to show later.
By the way, I think I managed to not fail the “Högskoleprov” too much, just a bit, mostly the math part.

Saturday and Sunday
Evelina is here now! She came Saturday morning, then slept and sunbathed all day while I did the "högskoleprov". Around 5 I was done with it, jumped in the shower and then she and I went to a restaurant called Osteria to catch up before we went out with the others to party a little.
And this is Evelina after yesterday's shoppinground at the Masai Market

Status report
First I would like to tell you all that my mom and my sister are mean. When I came home from Nakumat today, after fixing soymilk for my beloved sister’s food when she’s here, my mom called and asked how I was feeling. When I told her how happy I was that my sister is coming she sounded a bit worried and said that she wasn’t. Took me a second or two to realize it was the first of April today…
Second I have another status rapport about the security statues here in Nairobi. We have all been forbidden to go to Westgate or the Village Market (two very popular areas to us) since there are terror threats to all Danish citizens by Muslim extremists here in Nairobi. And apparently we look too much like Danes for the terrorists to see the difference. TIA I tell you.
