Long time..

Ojojoj, time flies when in Kenya. Been of the blogging for a while. Much has happened.. A minor update follows:

• During the day its cloudy but warm and the long rains has really kicked in now in the afternoons. Good for the plants!
• We've made a bunch of new friends. Some sellers at the market. Very soft guys who are gonna take us out clubbing for the first time since we arrived. And yes I will try an African beer :D
• Another guy is the salesmen of a bakery where they sell the best samosas in town. Mmm spicy like I prefer! Every time we're there he points out that he is single and 29 years old haha.
• Sry, I know u want to see pics but it have to wait until I'm back in Nairobi. Takes forever to upload them here.
• We're gonna start Swedish lessons on weekends for the elder kids.
• I have to welcome Gabriella who has arrived in Kenya! Karibu rafiki!
• When it rains a lot some special kind of termites gets wings for a day. The children went crazy and started to catch them. Apparently they taste delicious. They hold on to the wings and eat the body. Of course I had to try.. but not until they were fried without the wings and with salt! It was quite good actually :)
• We are regulars at a coffee place in town called Cafe Guava. When we're tired of ugali and home cocked noodles we go there and eat wonderful food like chicken wrap, omelets and drink freshly made fruit juices.
  
• I'm off the coffee.. And I drink my tea without milk now. Big changes I'll tell you haha!
• Last week there was an athletic competition between primary schools in the neighbourhood. It was supposed to start at nine but it started when all the schools had arrived. Then around twelve the teachers had a meeting deciding the time table for all the events and who should be in charge of what.. it is interesting to observe the organization. The finest school (kabarak) had the highest saying in all the matters. Further, the field was a grass field and no times was taken. And damn when the guys ran 400 m.. it was fast I'll tell you!
• Best pick-up line so far: "You and me can make an Obama!"
• I can recommend a very good book which offers a general overview of the African history during the postwar era. "The State of Africa" written by Martin Meredith.
  
• I printed my very first business cards! I've attended some workshops and visited organizations and everyone throws business cards at you. Now I can do the same :) It cost only 140 skr for 200.
• Lala: guess what table and sweets are called in Swahili? Meza and peremende! Ah ah see the connection! ;)
