		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve been battling with since I came to Kenya in 2007. 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[Something is seriously wrong in Kenya. I rarely have problems with people over charging me or being abusive to me, but lately I&#8217;ve noticed that if I&#8217;m with black Kenyans those problems occur more often than when I&#8217;m by myself. A few examples&#8230; There&#8217;s a great second-hand, open-air market just outside of Nairobi&#8217;s business district, [...]]]></description>

Not that I&#8217;m counting down, but because I arrived in October, 2007 I should be leaving in October, 2009 I guess. I haven&#8217;t decided if I will leave early or extend a bit. Since I came back from the [...]]]></description>
