Man lamu looks very appealing. I may buy a property there for winter vacations
Kwiinya ni kuzuri, man.
Majuu makes ones lose perspective on how the place is.
Is there corruption, crime, poverty, suffering and so on hapa? Of course.
But there is no perfect country on earth. Zote ziko na mashida zao biggy biggy.
Imagine a Kenyan saying they will never go to Hamellica juu wameona storos za shootings, ghetto life, poverty, homelessness in Oakland, drugs, prison documentaries, crack cocaine, gayism in the open, racism and so on. Si that would
sound ridiculous to those of you who live there and experience none of these first hand most of the time?Same same in Kwiinya. In fact in Kwiiinya you can experience 100 times the quality of life on the same budget you had huko Hamellica. Plus tis so much easier to make maney here as a returnee. Opportunities galore. Some chap opened an amusement park with rotting old 1970s equipment imported from Germany and is doing roaring biz. Such stollos are a dime a dozen hapa.
Was driving nyweeeeeeee on the Nairobi Expressway juzi. You guy that road is even better than the Autobahn. I don't think those Expressways I used to drive on in Houston (The Loop) na Cali even come close to matching. Let's just admit. Uhunyee amechapa njob kuchapa.
Material things aside in Kwiinya peace of mind iko. Hamellica kila kitu ni stress mode. This weekendo for example ndiyo mimi huyooooooo with the wifey and totos tumeenda mpaka Lake Chala. The average Kwiinyan has not even heard of Lake Chala. Let's appreciate and build our own country/region and continent.
But come back (if you plan to) in your own space and timing before that place collapses completely blo. I have seen several Kenyans who are USC's collecting Social Security shwaaaa and living on it good good after hitting retirement age hapa home square. Yangu bado mbali.
Mimi ata hamu ya kurudi hapo kwa Kamala na Biden sina imagine. Even to visit. Ok Maybe only to come sample some of the foods I miss. Like Southern comfort food made by those fat fat mamas hapo Atlanta. And what I wouldn't give for a Philly Cheesesteak from Pat's or Geno's
! Just like I used to miss a very sweet morning mug of uji and super soft Kenyan style mandazi while majuu..alulululu. And of course nobody makes Tacos like wakina Hosee wenye wamevuka boda illegally hapo Cali.
Tameka na Tanasha tulichoka nao hapo in our single twennies. East or West, there's no place like home.
Ni hayo tu.
