sorry about how fragmented this has been but i am on a laptop that is battery powered and it keeps dying. Anywho after buying my phone card from the tin shed i ran back to the hostel feeling rather chuffed with my self for being so brave only to find out that the hotel phone was actually out of order. Thank god for the receptionist wendy, she took pity on me and we went on a mega mission to find a phone, i found out later that another volunteer had been robbed where we were walking around looking for a phone so i am very glad she came with me as it was a maze of allys and big iron gates and not only woud i have probably been robbed but i would have been very lost.
After talking to irene, she came and met me at the hotel and whisked me away to her appartment, a mere three blocks (ish as there are nno blocks)away, again i didn't know what to expect so magine my srprise when she opened the door and i see a beautiful appartment just as nice as any western one, hardwood floors, tv, two bathrooms!!! i couldn't belive it. One thing i have already realized in my few days here, is Kenya is a country of contrast.
Not long after i met another volunteer, Cathrine from Australia, who has been amazing these last few days, she has definatly helped ease me into the whole experience, her and another six girls live here on and off ans she is teaching in a school in Kibera and asked me if i wanted to go in with her and i jumped at the chance.
