Thank you Hi Tim, thank you for your comment and for providing the answer. I guess the question that i'm asking now would be why didn't kenyans go over to India as well? A friend said that this is the same reason as why the malays from Singapore did not go to china/india.. maybe the british only allowed singular direction.. or the ships on the voyage back are filled with precious goods from Africa / Southeast Asia for trade..
Great read It's interesting to read a perspective on my country from a different person...to answer the question you asked earlier in this blog about the indians, the reason why they were brought to kenya was to build a railway that would connect uganda to kenya during colonial times by the british...good luck on your travels and I'll look forward to reading your next entry
Very exciting Wah, long time no read your entry but really very shiok. Sounds very exciting! I'm still In Paris. Will leave Sunday noon. This afternoon go underground cemetery hehehe
hahaha.. funny psycho... i'm now in dubai.. will update Lamu, Nairobi National Park, Lake Naivasha, and Hell's Gate NP sometime this week.. should have some time... Dubai is a weird place.. never saw so many construction of tall buildings going on all at the same time. .also, never seen so many different races in one city together.. and there doesn't seem like any dominant race! .. still suffering the culture shock.. lucky i flew out from nairobi. if fly out from ethio i'll probably have to lay in room for a couple of days..
So long no updates liao SO long you never update liao... did you finally get raped?
Update leh so that I can also post new comments.... I no life, only wait for your update so that I can post new comments
yoh, woke up this morning and suddenly tot of my good fren in afrikan. i see that u have come a long way and have picked up many interesting adventures.
Keep them going. Sad too say, u hav not lived up to mel and dick expectations!! =)
Entrepreneurship Woot! I think the kids that you met on the train ride who has red flowers very creative leh! they dared to be different! They are trying new method of marketing!
FOREIGN TALENT!!! Singapore would need them!
Then again, they might just be normal uncorrupted village kids.
I tried to think about your singular direction question and... hey! It inspried me to uncover such great mysteries like: (1) How come the europeans followed the Spanish (i.e. Columbus) lead to migrate/move to the New World but not the other way round? Would have been nice to meet Iron Rod (son of Sitting Bull) in Paris, don't you think?
How come the Chinese move from China to SE Asia but not the Malays from Malaysia/Indonesia? Hmmm... perhaps having come from Indon yourself, you can may know the answer to that? ;-)
Return of the Smelly Sandals!! can't find any sports sandals here in nairobi.. so I actually put more duct tape on my sandals yesterday.. haha.. they look pretty brand new now... heh.. but yah.. maybe smelly.. i dunno.. i dun dare to go smell.. duct tape is king! i also realized that my water proof document-holder is torn.. no worries.. duct tape! it's water proof again!
dun anyhow talk talk.. where got high paying job? no lah.. i actualy got lower pay compared to others cos i no prior experience.. and it's covered 3/4 exposed 1/4... not the other way round.. sorry to reduce your fantasies by 66.6% ;p but.. this is a big journey of my life.. would be better if there's somebody to accompany tho.. =)
Wah... Sounds like you got everything man!
Travel of your dreams, nice (high-paying) and stable job, encounters with African tribeswomen who exposes 3/4 of their breasts...
Don't complain!!!
did not take photos.. just went to the bookstore this morning.. read up a little on the tribes in kenya.. ah.. so the tribespeople i saw was from the famed Masaai tribe.. they are supposedly known for their ferocity in war.. lucky i didn't take photo.. or stared too long at their women.. haha..
Jiang Gong Shu Zui Hah hah hah.... can you make amends for not answering my many calls and thus wasting my IDD charges by uploading the photos of those sexy African tribeswomen? (IDD charges start the moment the phone rings, not the moment you answer)
Many guns with rectangular magazines. Should have taken a photo so that I can try and identify it for you. Then would have had more details for your trip!
eh... you called me for 20mins when it was 5am+ my time.. i need my beauty sleep too =) during the day i may not hear the phone at times.. as the phone is in my money belt.. so pls understand if i am not able to answer in time.. but i should be able to answer by the second call..
Hey...! Hmmm.... I am starting to wonder if you really want us to call you at all, man...
I mean like I spent the better part of 20 minutes tryingto call you on my local IDD charges and you never picked up the phone! Do you know that IDD charges start the moment the ringing tone does?!!!
Duh....
In the jungle.... In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight....
In the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight....
Ahhh....oooooooo..oooooo... ;)
Sudanese Visa!! Gosh, you are lucky! Def luckier than me... I went thru all to get the damn visa and then got to the border and realised that loads of pple are fleeing out... up north to Egypt, Wadi Halfi side cos there was a big fight at the border... all borders were closed... no tourists allowed. The only good thing is I get to make so many Sundanese frens... They shared with me their life stories... Therefore I head back Cairo and changed my plans... head east to Jordan and Israel instead. Haha... plans change... I am excited that u are heading towards Capetown... heard and read so much about the journey
Jus dun lose ur passport alright Hey sorry to hear about the momobay... do be careful with ur passport tho... take care of yourself... ur Egypt pics are so much more pro than mine... great job!
Not this itme.. Can't go for the trip this time round.. but it'll be good to do it before it becomes too commercialized... andf it'd be more fun to do it with you guys.. so.. many new places for us to go now.. Ethiopia.. South America.. Austria... haha
Started this blog for my recent Africa Cairo-to-Cape trip, which I have just returned from..
In the aftermath of my trip now.. will update the blog more on this trip once I get my ass moving..
Till the next time I travel!
Hope you enjoy this blog! Leave your comments!!... full info
