This weekend 3 of roommates, Chrissy, Cait and Yattah, and I hopped a matatu to Nakuru. We stayed with a classmate's family from USIU a little ways outside the city center. Nakuru feels like a beach town, life moves slowly and people are very friendly and easygoing. The air is clean and the views are spectacular. In 36 hours we stood on the equator and put our feet in both hemispheres, saw Thompson's Falls, watched flamingos at Lake Nakuru and stood on the top of crater with a breathtaking view of the entire valley! The girls and I like to call it our fun filled weekend of critical incidents because even with all the fun we had, we also experienced some very difficult cross cultural interaction. Many moments were spent frustrated, confused, upset and embarrassed. No time to explain now, but I will explain it all later! The post title describes our weekend perfectly; it made absolutely no sense!
