Disclaimer:

This report only applies to the collection of international parcels from the Kenyan Post Office. I cannot comment on how inefficient, backwards and a complete waste of time the rest of the operation is or is not.

The absolute one thing I dread doing in Kenya is getting a box in the [...]

Took the kids to the nairobi show. The highlights were the tower of fear (not its actual name) and the mermaids. I didn’t see the mermaids but the kids said it was very fake. They said was just a guy sitting in something that only showed [...]

Check Engine

For the past two months my check engine light keeps coming on. I should check the engine I know. But then after a while it often goes off. I do check the engine. Oil is ok. Water levels are fine. I probably should take it to a professional.

I am wrong. Nairobi traffic sucks. Nairobi drivers suck. People driving cars in Nairobi are stupid. Matatu drivers, lorry [...]

Wasting a Sunday

I tried to get a better shot than this, but was not very successfull. I was feeling shy to take a photo. So I was trying to be covert and take” photos” of my wife.
