Funny thing happend in downtown Nairobi...

[bundubasher]

Yesterday my wife’s boss (a mazungu who hadn’t been long in-country) was “mugged” by a small boy who threatened to plaster him with the bag of s.h.i.t. he was carrying if he didn’t pay him 100 shillings – needless to say he paid up! We always keep windows and doors locked when entering certain parts of Nairobi, but that’s half the fun! But once you’re out of Nairobi, it becomes Africa again: poor and dusty but usually very friendly!

Anyway, just thought I'd share this interesting way of clinching a deal with you all. So next time you go to visit your bank manager and don't feel like begging to have your OD extended, just come armed with a clear plastic bag of the good stuff!

I always look foreward to your updates and anecdotes from your trip. Keep 'em coming. It will be Winter here soon enough and we will need all the laughs we can get.

does any one think that would work on your boss if asking for a pay rise?

Strewth, out toddler has been doing that for two and a half years, the baby for eleven months, Fidget the Dalmatian for five years and Bosun the Lab for four.

Guess I need to move to Africa for a quiet life, or take them with me to become a crime lord?

They got me last month when we went to the Carnivore Restuarant. Roaming packs of savages posing as singers who don't stop until you bribe them ludricously. (That's you or the other guests who know they may be next in line!)

Anyway, Salama bru.
