Coming or Going | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah
https://heartodarkness.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/coming-or-going
It was nice to finally see the family. Both hers and mine. It was a great month, Christmas in ‘Bama with my family and The Girl, New Orleans for New Year’s, skiing, steaks and karaoke in LA with my west coast friends, and champagne and fine restaurants in Manhattan with the east coasters. I couldn’t have asked for much more. We were going back. I was exciting to be back, sad to leave, but happy I had such a good time. More troubling was a nagging question in the back of mind:. We arrived in Kenya, and th...

Wan Wathii Amerika!: Experiencing the Election in Africa | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah
https://heartodarkness.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/wan-wathii-amerika-experiencing-the-election-in-africa
Experiencing the Election in Africa. In September, I went to the Kenya-Namibia futbol game with JimmyJames, Dainty, Donut, and JimmyJames’ brother-in-law. It was every bit as rife with beer and somewhat jingoistic pride as any country’s national sporting event would be. There were chants and cheers and songs and when a goal was scored by Kenya road flares burst alight across the stadium and empty plastic bottles and cans rained down from the upper sections. It was frickin great. Exhaled in disbelief....

Destructing Customs | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah
https://heartodarkness.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/destructing-customs
The government decided it wanted the land for its ministries and parilaments so the whole market was torn down to accommodate the swelling administration of the nation. It’s the holidays that really make you remember family and nostalgia when living abroad. I always knew the US was special. I remember when my dad told me a bit about his experiences moving across the Atlantic in 1976:. 8220;For the first time in my life, I had money left at the end of the month.”. This year, the construction team had just...

Passed Life | Cheetahs Nevah Prospah

I went to the Yaya Centre, a relatively upscale shopping center just outside town near Langata, but not as far as Westlands. I had to buy a plane ticket to Zanzibar. This was late 2006, and I think Kenya Airways didn’t have online booking yet. In Yaya, there was a wonderful little shop with all sorts of fresh produce and the finest selection of herbs I’d seen since my time in Kenya began. I made sure to inform the cashier, a middle-aged Indian lady, and presumably the proprietor. After spending the morni...

My staff here is great. I admire such persistence and dedication. They are hard workers, at shifts for 12 hours a day or longer. Despite their determination, every now and then they do things that boggle my mind. 8221; I inquired to see if they understood. They both nodded vigorously in assurance of their comprehension. 8220;Then,” to explain the cooking method, “we cook just like french beans.”. Before dinner I usually do a walk though, complaining how filthy the place looks, no matter how clean it usua...

Well, couldna said it better. December 23, 2007. So I’m not gonna write anything. December 13, 2007. Juba’s like the wild west. It’s hot and dusty and everyone has guns. No. More like more like the wild west when the gold rush hit and shanty towns became bustling metropolises overnight, and I happen to be one of the nicest hotels in town. 8217; at me in their native tongue. It was sometime when I was taking the long drive to the New Restaurant that I really noticed them all. When I was running our camp, ...
