One day I was seated next to a South Sudanese guy on a 5 hour trip from Nairobi to Eldoret (it used to take that long with the state of roads then, no idea how it is now). I wouldn't have thought we'd have things to talk about. But we talked the whole way there. I can't wait for South Sudan to develop coz the potential of that country is really high
in regards to music in matatu it is meant to attract some specific group of customers especially the youth and young working class professionals , and if you are keen you will find some matatus that don't play music at all . Soo it is a personal choice dears
Next time talk about, economical, tourism, agriculture and environmental aspect which you can replicate it back home for positive development. Inshallah
That lady in long plaits explained it soooooooooo well. We Kenyans don't care much about what others call 'foreigners' and that is probably why we seem very hospitable. My home town for instance has a big population of South Sudanese but we never see them as foreigners. To us they are more Kenyan than South Sudanese.
Local upcoming artists use matatus to market themselves. They produce copies of the same and distribute it in different matatus plying different routes.
On food, we don't spice too much because we love the original taste of whatever we are eating. Like too much spice makes the food to loose its original taste. If it's fish we want to taste fish not spice, if it's beef I want to taste that taste. That's the reason we don't like a lot of spice
I honestly think our ancestors were busy fighting to regain back this country..they ate watever they could..Coastal food and western Kenya food is different from Central Kenya.. Again, Kenyans like natural foods for the most part
