Day 1



National Flag of Kenya



I heard about a book called Bill Bryson's African Diary from my friend. Inspired by this book, I decided to take a trip to Kenya. Just like Bill Bryson, by that time, I was thinking about Savanna, wild animals, and other beautiful environment. I had a little knowledge of poverty and famine in Africa from TV documentaries. However, I thought that would appear only in TV. Since I had no clue about Kenya, I found a fellow traveler George who would help me. George was currently working in CARE, an organization that is supporting people in Kenya. He said he has been there several times. George and I had 5 hour discussion planning the trip. Also, he completely threw out my fantasy about Africa in my mind. He warned me about robbery, transportation safety and diseases. I didn't expect any of these but I was still in for this adventure. We will be meeting each other at the airport tomorrow morning.
