From Nairobi

How are you?
At last I managed to access the Internet, but I do not have much time.
I am writing in an Internet cafe in the center of Nairobi with my host Ken and his cousins.

So far, I checked several ways of commuting to the slum I will work for, visited the slum, met members of AIESEC in Kenya, etc. The biggest impression I have now is that Kenyans are inconceivably friendly. I have been introduced to many relatives and friends of Ken, and although I stand out very much, no one have treated me as a stranger.

In Marurui, the slum, the situation is the same. All small children who notice me speak to me, saying, " How are you?". I will start to work from Monday, and I still do not know what I will and can do there, I will do my best, enjoying life here.

I have a bit more time. Today, I went to see a basketball match in a stadium. Ken's cousin is a professional player and captain of his team. We won the match, and drank some beer afterwards. I found "Guiness" too bitter and strong to me.

See you,
Kei
