Cille in Kenya: update y'all !

Hi and sorry for the bad update. hehe

Okey so Monday 19th the kids had play dates, so there were a lot of kids hanging around in the garden. I went for a walk in the neighborhood and I think that's it. haha!

Tuesday I hang out with the kids, dancing and making bangles.

Wednesday I met up with Anna at Westgate, chatted, shopped for Christmas and simply just had fun!

Thursday I went with Sarah to Village Market. She got her nails done, while I got some lunch and had a look around in the shops. We later went to the Sarit Center to buy some things for Christmas.

Friday Sarah had something to do, so I went a long, had some lunch at ABC Java House. I later went to Anna's place. We had some white wine, listen to music and got ourselves ready for a night our! Our taxi came to pick us and we headed for a restaurant. We ended up eating at Southern Sun.. mmm sooo good food!! We both had some Mexican inspired food, like nachos and burritos. LOVE IT! Well, we call our taxi guy and then drove to Psys in Langata, where Klaudine and Chris where waiting with some of their friends. A very local place, me and Anna where like lighting up the room, haha! But it was nice to see something different! Anna, Klaudine, her boyfriend and I headed of for Karen. At the Blix Lounge. A nice place. We had a drink then headed of for another place called Volar! Both Anna and I loved that place, but it was expensive! Nice music, but like nobody danced but two "cool" guys. So of course as the party animals that we are, we took over the dance floor! Hahaha! Me and Anna then went to Black Diamond, our favorite place. Had some drinks there and danced until closingtime! We even got dance tips from some Africans. You know, they can really move here! Then called a taxi and went home. I got home at 6am.

Saturday, 24th, Christmas.

In Kenya they celebrate Christmas the 25th, but we did it the 24th.

When I got up I skyped with my family in Sweden. Dad walking around with his phone with me saying hi to everybody. My little brother even opened the few presents I got, while I was watching it over the computer. I later did the same thing but with my mom and that side of the family. They were in Budapest, with some relatives. Then it was time for dinner at Majda's (Sasha's mom) place. Sasha, Sarah, Marley, Kiri, Majda, Branchie (Sasha's brother) and me. It was some Danish food mixed with Slovenian food and yeah, I have no idea. But it was good. After that we all had to hide in a room while "Santa Claus" was putting the presents under the three. And then the kids opened all their present, and than later us adults. We had desert (Ris'a'la'mandel) and some drinks, and then we headed home. Not far away, because Majsa lives right next to us.

Oh yeah, I got money, a Guns'n'Roses t-shirt, a necklace and tickets for a Black Sabbath concert in May (couldn't be better).

Sunday was just relaxing day. We had leftovers, some drinks and just chatted while the kids where playing with all their new toys.

Monday we went to Sasha's dad's place. All (almost) of the big Ng'inja family was there. Very nice time. Nice food and nice people. Some chocking news though. We spent all day there.

Tuesday I was supposed to meet up with some of Sasha's sisters (Anchie and Lina) for some drinks, but it got canceled. To bad! And even Anna and her "family" went for safari at the Mara (Masai Mara). Wish it was me! AND it was Sarah's first day at her new job, UNICEF Somalia!

Wednesday it was supposed to be some pizza/wine time at Anchie's place, at the pool, but the weather was not good and Anchie had some other plans. But I met up with Lina and we went to town, meaning Nairobi city. We then went to the Junction, Lina had to find some sandals and so she did! We then went to Brew Bistro & Lounge to meet up with her boyfriend and his friend. We had some beers and I even had a Captain Morgan. We then went home and I watched some episodes of SoA.

Today has been a soft day. Sarah's has been home lying in bed, she is not feeling well. I have been doing some laundry and tidied up my room, the kids had a friend over, so I spend some time with them in the garden and now I'm eating chips (french fries) with ketchup and chilisauce. Exciting yeah?

Tomorrow I'm meeting with Anna for some New Years Eve shopping etc.

Sooo, talk to you later!
