East Africa’s Asian Invasion

No, this is not another story about how the Chinese are getting all the construction contracts here (which they are). This is a story about Antoinette Nguyen, friend extraordinaire, who came from Atlanta to visit me for 3 weeks. I was excited to “re-see” Kenya and Tanzania through her eyes.

She has her own blog if you care to read her perspective on the trip (when she eventually updates it). For now, here is what I “re-saw” during our very own East African Asian Invasion...

Helping out at the Emmanuel Boys Center makes you realize so much.

Ant realized her high school physics lessons stuck long enough to help David with his homework.
And I realized that my hair continues to be a spectacle for so many Africans.

If you don't smile like an idiot when you feed a giraffe, you’re not human.

Korean food is ridiculously delicious, no matter where you have it.

A safari isn’t complete without hundreds of pictures of us pointing at animals.

There is an inordinate amount of Obama across this land.

When in Zanzibar, it’s sometimes best to keep picture-taking to a minimum. We opted to enjoy paradise over documenting it… except for this time.
