Dorathy, we ain't in Kansas anymore!

You can get anything you need in Kisumu but you can get anything you want in Nairobi. Nairobi is a big city. 5 million people, not one traffic light in the whole town! Beyond bad traffic jams. Criminals have been known to take the side mirror off your car while you sit in traffic! It's every man for himself, if you can imagine a freeway where pedestrians and bikes are allowed and its nothing to have to drive up on the sidewalk or create your own lane. And as one friend remarked seriously, he hadn't swiped anyone yet...this week.
