		<description><![CDATA[The pet store in the Westgate shopping mall sells terrapins (a small turtle species from Northern America). As we&#8217;ve had mixed luck with fish, we decided to get a few. They&#8217;re really cute, and a hell of a lot more interesting than fish&#8230; This particular species is a red-eared slider, but it seems there are [...]]]></description>

In those four years I&#8217;ve taught computer science classes, learned Swahili, traveled Eastern Africa, fainted and whacked my head on the floor, became a small-scale [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For all the niceties we have in Kenya (especially in Nairobi), we lack the presence of large Western chain stores and restaurant franchises. Honestly I couldn&#8217;t care less, but I remember it being a surprise when I first came to Kenya in 2007. In the United States at least, we&#8217;re used to being constantly bombarded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matatus are the primary form of transportation in Kenya. A &#8220;matatu&#8221; can be anything from a 14-seater Nissan minivan shuttling people around town, to a full-size bus ferrying dozens of people across the country. For those of you who&#8217;ve never been to Kenya: if you&#8217;ve ever ridden BART in San Francisco, a dalla dalla in [...]]]></description>
