Nairobi~ My City, My Town

Posted on December 13, 2013January 5, 2016 by Wamuyu Posted in Kenya, Travel and EventsTagged Africa, CBD, Kenya, Nairobi, travel

I did not do a Jamhuri Day post because cyberspace had enough of those yesterday. But I did celebrate Jamhuri Day in my own lazy way. I recognize that we have flawed governance, and some people reckon that because of this, there is nothing to celebrate about being Kenyan. I disagree. I celebrate my beautiful people and beautiful land. I think the younger generation is extremely skeptical and unappreciative of things and ~~fail~~ REFUSE to see the strides the country has taken forward 50 years post- independence. That is an argument for another day. But I am an extremely proud Kenyan and there is no land I would rather call home.

I have way too many posts planned! I’ll start by sharing these pictures of the Nairobi CBD that I have taken over the past few days. My beautiful friend Thato is visitng Kenya from South Africa and I hosted her for 6 days. She said she wouldn’t mind staying indoors and eating chapati, for the duration of her Kenya trip! LOL. But I took her visit as an opportunity to do a few outdoorsy things that I wouldn’t do if I had no one to show around.

Though I’m late, Happy 50 Years of Uhuru to my fellow Kenyans!

Happy Weekend Friends!
Xx

These are some pretty decent pics girl ! Which machine are you using ? Also, try KICC when you have the chance 🙂 150/- bob to the top.
I agree with you as far as young peeps are concerned. So much narrow-minded bile on social sites over last few days. Its like there is NOTHING to be greatful for. Our leadership is a mess but we were celebrating each other.
