    Nairobi's charity sweepstake - all proceeds go to charity.: by beth_king, Views[1075]
         		 Fabio, me, Maria, Bhavin and Heike at Coco Lounge at the weekly Tuesday night AIESEC drinks night.: by beth_king, Views[729]
         		 A decorated matatu in the city. Many vehicles boast depictions of famous gangsters and play booming hip hop, although the authorities have started to crack down on this and so you are increasingly likely to see them covered with signs praising God and to be listening to gospel music on the way home.: by beth_king, Views[1704]
         		 Shoe shine centre.: by beth_king, Views[888]
         		 Saturday outside well-known supermarket Nakumart (think Coles), where play equipment has been set up for the kids to celebrate the weekend.: by beth_king, Views[1029]
     
    My bedroom at my host family's house.: by beth_king, Views[447]
         		 Dinner :): by beth_king, Views[449]
         		 My host mum Victoria at our kitchen table, eating ugali, sukuma wiki (spinach dish) and stew.: by beth_king, Views[2183]
         		 Advert for Akubra hats!: by beth_king, Views[466]
         		 In the prosperous area of Nairobi near the prestigious Stanley Hotel, where the rich and famous stay.: by beth_king, Views[820]
     
    Street scene in Nairobi.: by beth_king, Views[450]
         		 Street scene in Nairobi.: by beth_king, Views[459]
         		 Street scene in Nairobi.: by beth_king, Views[1498]
         		 My host aunty Ann, cooking Ugali on a charcoal stove outside our house in Westlands.: by beth_king, Views[1181]

    Street scene in Nairobi.: by beth_king, Views[419]
         		 The Jamia Mosque in Nairobi, although Christianity is the major religion in this city.: by beth_king, Views[891]
         		 Preachers in the park - Kenya is famous for its wandering preachers, who walk along the streets and even board buses, screaming their biblical wisdom. They are supported through donations, and are considered to be providing a public service (although I'm not sure what the non-Christians think about this). A recent new law prohibiting noise pollution in public places has hit the preachers hard, with some being fined for disrupting the peace.: by beth_king, Views[578]
         		 The Nairobi GPO.: by beth_king, Views[1232]
         		 Monument in Uhuru ('Freedom') Park, which owes its existence to Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai, who started the Green Belt Movement and saved the park from Moi's bulldozers in the 1980s (Moi famously suggested that she should be more of a proper woman in the 'African tradition') - it's a nice place to picnic during the day but somewhere to steer clear from at night.: by beth_king, Views[651]
     
    Traffic jam along my walk back to the city from the office- I started off taking the bus then realised that to walk took only 15 minutes which the bus often took up to 30- traffic jams are a big problem in Nairobi, as there are no trains or trams, and people rely solely on matatus, buses and private cars to get around.: by beth_king, Views[622]
         		 Church near my workplace. Nairobi is very Christian; recently there have been passionate discussions about the morality of homosexual marriage following the union of two Kenyan men in the UK.: by beth_king, Views[673]
         		 'Fountain of Hope' outside the Nairobi Hospital. This is one of Kenya's private hospitals which are, as in Australia, much better equipped than their public counterparts but require expensive medical insurance to attend.: by beth_king, Views[935]
         		 Billboard in Nairobi- note Boston Legal is very popular here, as is (you won't believe it) Neighbours, which screens daily on free-to-air TV. Worrying...: by beth_king, Views[597]
         		 Me and Vivian, my host sister.: by beth_king, Views[454]
     
    Rolling out the chapatis.: by beth_king, Views[509]
         		 Sarah making chapatis..mmm...: by beth_king, Views[476]
         		 Sarah making a spinach dish, to eat with chapatis.: by beth_king, Views[462]
         		 Sarah in her kitchen.: by beth_king, Views[455]
         		 Maize (one of the major staple foods in Kenya), gathered by Sarah's grandmother from their garden. It can be ground down to flour and used to make ugali, or eaten off the cob like corn.: by beth_king, Views[1014]
