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>

I did have a minor epiphany about umbrellas while sitting in the matatu on the way home, though. I had just run a kilometer through Uthiru to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was preparing to come to Kenya in 2007 I bought a pocket guide to learn Swahili. I wasn&#8217;t too serious about practicing, but I do remember sitting on the beach a few times reading that book (I even made flash cards). I&#8217;ve gotten pretty good at Swahili over the last few years so [...]]]></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>

Anyways, it&#8217;s Jua Cali and Enika (apparently she&#8217;s from Tanzania).

I&#8217;ve been here before with Sara and some other volunteers. It&#8217;s a great little touristy beach getaway with lots of Italians. You can tell [...]]]></description>

In Swahili tatu means &#8220;three&#8221;, so a matatu in sheng is a &#8220;mathree.&#8221; This new response is way better than getting upset because, in addition to leaving everyone in the vicinity laughing, it establishes several things all in [...]]]></description>
