Explain to me simply how on earth Macedonian hookers can be hired to be waitresses in a hotel in Kenya? Who gave them work permits? Was it Kajwang? Were the jobs advertised?
Our own people are suffering in Macedonia - one of the most racist countries in Europe. Many asylum seekers from Africa are "stranded" in Macedonia after being kicked out of Greece. They have no right to work and are subjected to the most degrading treatment.
And BTW the author of that article is an idiot! Ethnic Macedonians are white. Their Albanian compatriots may be dark haired but still white all the same. The very idea: Caucasian and NOT white!!! Is this fella normal!
First, to get things quickly out of the way, there is no novelty in being served by white waiters. Second, the New York Times article that proclaimed that Kenyans are falling all over themselves to be served by white waitresses at Caramel Lounge is utopic and slightly deranged.
Lastly, the very few Caucasian waiting staff (they are not more than three) are mostly from Macedonia, or some country like that. How white can that be?
Yes, Caramel Lounge is impressive. It’s imposing, sitting on 13,000 square feet. It’s elegant in décor. And it’s posh. They have a cigar lounge in the offing.
Running near the breadth of the room is a famous table, known simply as Table 22 that is made from onyx. It sits about 18 people and is the focal point of the bar, their signature table. You could sit in the lounge area, which looks up to the bar that is long, dark and sexy.
RIGHT OF ADMISSION
If you sit there and look east, towards the cigar lounge, you might see the famous drink that made this place “famous”; the Remy Martin Louis XIII. A bottle goes for Sh1.25 million. (That’s Kenya Shillings, not Macedonian Denar).
A tot of this drink goes for Sh42,000. But this drink isn’t just expensive here, it is expensive in bars that stock it like The Balcony Bar at the Kempinski Villa Rosa.
Contrary to what you might think, Caramel is not any more expensive than other high-end bars in Nairobi. In fact, you can actually get all of their cocktails at Sh950.
You can risk it and walk in and get a table if you want to dine (highly not advisable), but you can always walk in to the bar and have a drink. Unless of course, you are under 25 years of age, is in a hat, sandals or sleeve-less shirt. You will be turned away.
The main-barman is from Dubai, some Asian chap called Sudish who knows his cocktails. He will probably suggest Fruit Mojito, their popular drink.
There is a deejay four nights a week, a deejay Hani. You want to eat while you drink without actually sitting down to eat?
GREATEST CALAMITY
Try their sliders; beef or lamb will be good. Salads go for Sh1,500 in case you are wondering.
The greatest calamity with Caramel is that it’s riding on this huge misconception that it’s pricing is unattainable. That it’s too highbrow (it is) for the average middle class to even venture in there (untrue).
It’s a thought-out product, targeted to a specific audience that doesn’t fuss over price. And it doesn’t apologise for that. I suspect that Kenyans are intrigued by such haughtiness.

Do they have a right to discriminate on the basis of age? The Age of Majority in Kenya ... is it 25?

The ad the placed in the local media as per requirements can shade some light on it. I can see them advertising for PhD holders born in Skopje, with proof of Caucasian origins.
You lack imagination JM

Maybe they have a right if you is in a hat. :D

Omollo,
Sometimes government restricts too much to the impediment of citizens. I was watching this video about Dubai. The place has very few govt restrictions. Hookers come in and go. Foreigners run the country, and this has created a booming business. When you let other cultures in, you create a product which in turn brings in money that employs locals. Govt can be an impediment to progress.

Good gracious! I missed that! We now have enough universities. Perhaps we should start focusing on quality. This belongs in the Fallen Media Standards thread as well.
