slowly returning to the blogosphere... MORE FUN FACTS!!!

1. Kenya recognizes Easter Monday as a national holiday. Why? To justify taking the Monday after Easter off.
2. Jinga is KiSwahili for ignant.
3. Toyotas are EVERYWHERE.
4. I've yet to see a house with carpet. (It makes sense though: Valuing clean floors + walking most places = tile floor b/c they're easier to clean.)
5. 2Pac is really popular.
6. Why did I see JaRule on the back of a matatu?
7. Kenyans prefer hot milk on cereals like Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, etc.
8. Every so often, you'll hear the GucciMane "AYE!" for no reason
9. As much as merchants try to hustle and strangers point when they see mzungus walking down the street, Kenyans absolutely do NOT put up with public, obvious physical harassment of foreigners.
10. Folks'll ask for your email address before your phone number
11. Spoon > Fork
12. People say, "I'm coming" when they're leaving a place.
13. Rembo is KiSwahili for beautiful. Rembo doesn't have an antonym. If you want to call someone ugly, you must say "Wewe si rembo" (You are not beautiful). Therefore, you can only be the negation of beautiful. ...Ouch Swahili!
14. Houses are usually divided by cement walls.
15. The cement walls have broken bottles at the top to keep burglars from getting in.
16. The elevation of a child's slide and handicap ramps are near equal.
17. Matatus usually have Pimp My Ride-esque TVs in them to entertain/draw passengers.
18. People don't really crank up the base in their cars.
19. People's first names are usually out of the Bible. (I mean DEEP out the Bible. Like Josaphat and Rhesa.)
20. There're more wigs, weaves, and perms than fros.
