It's already Saturday and in one hour I am off to the airport to go and pick up Karin, who is flying in from Kampala. We will spend the next two weeks together.
As already mentioned yesterday, I had the opportunity to go to Kibera. I was told that in the meantime this is the biggest slum in Africa. It definitely is the biggest one on the east coast of Africa.
Stefan had proposed to take us there. Us means Mojca and myself. Mojca is a slovenian girl who is staying at the same hostel as myself. We left town at 01.30pm because walking through Kibera would take a while and we didn't want to be in there while it would get dark.
First we went to a Rehabilitation Center for Boys. That was also a very nice experience. These kids are just so cute and they had real good manners. Yesterday I wrote that Stefan had organized 2 securities, well at the end we had 5 young men accompanying us. 4 of them do stay in Kibera so we should be safe.

We walked and walked. This slum is so big, you can't even imagine. Some areas are really dirty and then you have parts which are cleaner. You can see women in skirts and heels which live there because the rent is cheaper then if they would live in Nairobi. I don't know how they manage but probably I am spoiled anyway.
We got home late and we were completely exhausted but it was really worse it. I am so fortunate to be able to experience all this. Thanks to Stefan.
