Raw Talent

It takes more than guts to pose like this guy in the middle of Nairobi - even if it is for TV. My guy, you will go far! Just make sure you have some clothes on first.

Phoenician Restaurant Menu. A case of not wanting it good, but wanting it Tuesday.

Bicycle Lanes


What happened to cycling lanes in Nairobi? All roads being resurfaced and built have total disregard for the greenest and most convenient mode of transport. Outside Kakamega, anyone know of any other Kenyan town with proper cycling lanes?

Utumishi kwa wote?

This cop stopped me for 'speeding' - driving at 109 on a 100kph road. I protested and said I knew the law that restricts speed on a single lane highway to 100kph and 110kph on a two lane highway. Surprised I knew the law, I was let go after a 15 minute delay to my journey back to Nairobi from Elementaita. Other motorists purchased their freedom.

Nothing escapes the eyes of the vigilant City Council of Nairobi.

This is the worst crime you can commit as a copywriter - get your brand's name wrong!
