Nairobi town city is filled with brightly coloured mini- busesol covered in meaningful ( to the driver) words such as magic moment, and god loves us. They all look like they would not only fail an MOT but they would be sent to a scrap yard, these mini buses are the local transport and today the local government placed new laws on them meaning they would be fined if they broke the law.
Today the drivers of these buses decided to strike, this included setting fire to two vehicles and delayed my journey back to the hotel by 1 hour! I didn't see any of the violence but the traffic was crazy - people abandoned their vehicles and walked. It took me an hour to do a 5 minute journey but I didn't walk because I'm not allowed.
Tomorrow is exam day and everyone is ready
Take care
