Thoughts from Kenya

So I have had some time to sit back and contemplate my experiences in Kenya and I have come to the following conclusions:

- I must go out and buy more khaki colored clothing or else I will never fit in.

- Where does it say that when going on a safari, that one must buy a stupid hat?

- Why is it that all white men that work in Africa are typically the only guys sitting a business lunch not wearing a tie and/or jacket?

- West Africa food = saucy and spicy, East Africa food = dry and under-spiced. As my coworker told me, East African's don't spice up their food because the meat actually has taste while West African food you are doing everything you can to hide the graininess of the meat. And I agree, the food was great and simple but that was the beauty.

- I want to go back but this time with a group of people and must stay in the Mara, visit Amboseli and Tsavo and stay at the Whitesands on possibly the most beautiful beach in the world.

Hopefully soon, I will be travelling to another exotic and different place.
