		<description><![CDATA[So it turns out the refugees down the street are refugees and they do sleep there on the side of the road. Call me naïve, but it wasn&#8217;t always obvious to me (and nobody has explained any of this to me). I&#8217;ve seen bunches of them come and go pretty regularly since I moved to [...]]]></description>

		<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>

I&#8217;m terrible at conversational Swahili, but it seems like I always have a quip ready to throw back at someone who shouts at me on the street. Here are some I&#8217;ve used recently: &#8220;Jina langu si John&#8221; (my [...]]]></description>

This evening I was walking through Uthiru after work and some kids saw me and shouted, &#8220;Mzungu!&#8221; You&#8217;d think I&#8217;d be used it by now but alas, even after two years of living in Tala and hearing kids shout that and more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t think of any reason why a police officer in Kenya should get a free ride in a matatu. As far as I know there&#8217;s no law that says, &#8220;If you see a cop walking, give him a ride.&#8221; It happens all the time, though: some cop walking on the side of the road [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s funny, but it doesn&#8217;t quite explain why we have lots of crazy people in Nairobi (and San Francisco, though. Nairobi estates have these guys who wander around with burlap sacks picking up trash. [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve gotten pretty good at Swahili over the last few years so [...]]]></description>
