		<description><![CDATA[I snapped this picture of a Coca Cola bottle last week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: I thought it was cool to see the famous brand name printed in something other than English. In the Amharic language the four characters spell &#8220;Coca Cola&#8221; phonetically: Co-ca Co-la. The bottom part apparently says &#8220;Trademark.&#8221;]]></description>

I&#8217;ve ridden (and enjoyed) swing rides before, but I think I&#8217;ll pass on this one! It&#8217;s closed today, but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;ll be packed this weekend. It&#8217;s all fun and games until someone gets hurt&#8230; that thing looks super [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s with Kenyan dudes and long finger nails? I first noticed it a few years ago on a high-school aged kid in Kitui. I was a bit weirded out when I saw that both of his pinky-finger nails were strangely long and manicured, as if they hadn&#8217;t been cut in two months or so. I [...]]]></description>

The institute is a fine place and all, big campus, green grass, fast Internet, smart people doing good science, lots to learn, etc&#8230; but it couldn&#8217;t be situated in a worse place (Uthiru).

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not entirely sure whether this is hilarious, sad, or just ironic: last week a few cops got caught taking bribes from matatus by the Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC). It was apparently a sting operation, complete with fake notes, undercover operatives, cameras, etc. For better or worse, the ordeal was caught on tape: The [...]]]></description>
