Nairobi

Nairobi is the city that money forgot.  The money stopped, the building stopped, the infrastructure stopped.  People walking, digging, slums, garbage.  Maribu storks by the road. Monkeys on the roof.  People walking everywhere and selling stuff everywhere.  The traffic is a nightmare.  Buses, matatus ( small buses) motorbikes, cars, trucks,  bicycles.  donkey carts.  Honking is encouraged.  Instead of traffic lights they have speed bumps.  George says red lights are "optional".  Richard said you do not need to stop at a red light at night...or on weekdays.  When I asked when he did stop, he said " we assess each one individually".
