  1. What’s next? Maybe a candoool holdaaa.

    Quencher? Just two bottles. Two. Let’s see what kind of sweet softdrinks you’ll be having in India. Hehe…

  2. Jua kali almost for its own sake – am impressed. Do you have Swabian ancestors, perchance?

    But seriously, pal, what are you doing in Embu? I might be there myself in a month or so, to visit friends in shags further up, and I just wonder what wave of fortune has swept you there. You never explained it on your blog, so you may forgive my curiosity.

    PS: You’ll be amused (or already) have been about the many nice gaffes and misunderstandings, some cutely semi-obscene, that a Kikuyu speaker is able to produce when aced with a Kiembu-understanding environment. Two tribes separated by the same language… *chuckle*

    Best regards,

  3. @KM: LOL! Sure! You need to have anything repaired? Weka ile…

    @Osas: I am doing an internship in Embu with the Water Resources Management Authority (wrma.co.ke) until the end of this year or maybe even longer. Let’s see…

  4. Your blogs are so funny and refreshingly innovative. But I wonder, why do you have Cussons on your kitchen sink?
