WTF moments vol. 1

Sonogram picture lying in the gutter

Women with baby attached to her breast using no hands while getting onto the bus( more shocking if you see it in action) like how was the baby staying on to that?

Man on the side of the road drinking from his gas tank.

Being told that the Anti-Christ has come several times a day.

Mentally unstable women first asked me and my friend for money than took her shirt off in the middle of the street and tried to sell it to us.

BOTH times my matatu was stopped by the cops, first time there was a small chase but it didn’t last long, the cops blocked the bus and then the driver tried to pretend it was my bus and he was a hired driver, this was the point where everyone( including me) starts to exit the bus rather quickly. Second time was a routine bribery stopping. Note( cops here carry riffles, really big mean looking ones, and they carry them on their arms facing up, which means if you are walking near them the gun points at your face. Lovely)

Street boy spooning with a stray dog: Really more poignantly endearing, than shocking.

Being asked by strangers if I would like to have an “obama”

Sketchy night clubs play 90s prom dance music, and decorate in the same fashion.

On the ferry coming back to the island, the ferry breaks, stuck in the middle for an hour trying to get the second ferry to tow it to the other side. (this ferry is 50 years old and wasn’t even replaced when the third ferry capsized and killed 120 people 5 years ago. They say taking the ferry is tempting your fate)

The posters in the matatus (buses) mix of super Christian messages plastered over half naked pictures of Alicia Keys

Everything written in the news paper! Especially science article on why circumcised people are less likely to get HIV( NOT True) Article was entitled how to save your marriage.

And last but not least, signs advertising the benefits of Corporal Punishment in primary school. Canning=Learning !

This has been vol. 1 of WTF moments in Kenya. Stay tuned for updates.
