so i landed save in nairobbery, the capital of kenya, after some stunning views out of my plane over the river nile and the desert and then all the green landscapes in kenya .... gorgeous.

first thing i did in nairobi, was to get bread at 11 pm, cause i was hungry. pretty simple task, you d think. but in nairobi, the nice people of your guest(shit)house insist that their guard will go with you  ... across the street .... to buy bread ... very weird, very dodgy i thought, but apparently this is the way to do it. 

well to keep it short, i got my bread and even after a couple of days in nairobbery, i managed it to oppose the city's reputation that most of the people get mugged at least once during their stay in the city.

i went on a safari to some of kenya's finest national parks and cause of all the terror threats in the country, i had them all pretty much to myself ...lions, rhinos, elefants, hippos, chetahs, zebras, monkeys, warhogs, and all the other animals you know from lion king.
very cool thing was the lake nakuru, where you find fucking 10 thousands of pink flamingos on one spot. mindblowing. could make it maybe into my top ten.

but now enough of the boring stuff.

masai people -- local tribe. still dont know if they are smart and cool, or just dumb and behind, but judge for yourself.
to become a man, you have to kill a lion as a masai, then you ll get circumcised, and you ll become a warrior and if you have enough cows, you can buy yourself women (20 cows per woman in average --
depends on how gorgeous she is and how much wood she can lift).
the girls will also be circumcised (actually clitoricised - or however you fucking spell that) to become a woman and to be able to marry.
before that, they still can screw around, but only with same year olds ... at that age, they still feel pleasure, but after they become a woman .. nada, but people believe that if the woman feels no more
pleasure, she will be faithfull forever ... isnt that cool?

anyway, visit at the masai village -- they took a cow, strungled the cow, shot her in the throat with arrow and bow, collected the blood, mixed it with milk and gave it us to drink. bbrrrrr ... never. i may be crazy and do dangerous risky things, but this is something i couldnt do at all. fearfactor maximum.

so, well, after the weirdest border crossing ever and 5 flat tires a day, i finally got into uganda, to jinja, the origin of the nile. the reason for that:

world best white water rafting. 30 km, 5 hours, down the nile, 5 great grade 5 (skale from 1 to 6, with 6 as the maximum risk) white water rapids with names like "the bad place", "the dead dutchman" and "the
G-spot" ... well, good that i have done it before and that i already know, where to find the G-spot .... [for all the people, who believe me this, please add: and the earth is a disk].
so to be honest: it was scarier than i thought it would be .... scarier than my bungee jump and even after you ve done your first grade 5 rapid, the thing is not getting easier. it scared the shit out of all of us. especially, when you flip in the g-spot and a 3 meter high rapid crashes upon you and you feel like someone emptied a whole swimming pool on your head.

but it was fun as well, a lot of fun actually and you cant really hurt yourself, as the river nile is pretty deep there. we flipped only 3 times, supposingly a pretty good run, but 2 flips less would have been much
better hehe.

anyway, very cool day. and now i m hanging out in kampala, trying to get myself the mountain gorilla trekking permits to see something you can only see here and maybe (hopefully not) you cant see soon at all anymore. on the trail of foster out into the jungle, to the gorillas in the mist. this will be probably the most expensive hour i will ever have ..
fucking 275 dollars costs this damn permit, to see the gorillas for exactly one hour (so that their stresslevel doesnt increase and they die of an heart attack or something like that) .. aaaaaahhhh 275
dollars, i could live in india for that for a whole month .... really good as well. but africa isnt cheap at all. i already cancelled my plans of climbing mount kilemanjaro .... fucking cost 750 dollars minimum !!!
are they all gone crazy here? i dont even like hiking. so that was an easy one.i mean, i ve been to nepal and never made a step upon a hill ..

so, enough from here ... damn, quite a few lines ...  anyway, for all the scrollers: summary: still alive, kicking and having fun, soon without money, but loads of time left ... and still a very long way to go.

time for some safari rum and chillin' on my rooftop of my 2 dollar "hostel".
