Re: Area Buru-Buru - 11 years ago
I'm sure you also know what gets to the media. Not some calm church wedding, but the one where the bride bursts into tears and is hijacked/rescued at gunpoint by an ex-lover. Lol... Yeah, there is drama in Buru Buru, as in all (most) urban areas. Mainly because it borders the home of criminal gang-rearing neighborhoods. The rules of safety apply as they do in any other middle-class neighborho...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
Re: Area Buru-Buru - 11 years ago
Hmmm… Hello again Taharka, This got me reading, and you can read some more on permits and imports of personal belongings from this site: “Work Contract” you may need to find out from your end what our government means in your terms by ‘work contract’. That will solve your ‘work permit’ issue. It most probably means some paper-work of some sort. “Cleared through Customs”, “duty” and ...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
Re: Area Buru-Buru - 11 years ago
The other thing I forgot to add about dreadlocks; in Kenya, most of the men sporting dreadlocks are likely to be Rastafarian. For the women it’s hardly ever for religious reasons, it’s mostly a hairstyle. It seems the genre of Rasta that is here does not require their women to wear locks. But anyway, once you are here couple of months, you will be able to differentiate the dreadlocks worn for rel...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
Re: Area Buru-Buru - 11 years ago
Lol… This is so genuine, and it’s also very funny in some areas. First, a very warm welcome to Kenya, people here are generally nice – friendly, helpful, genuinely loving, and human. My name is Nyambura, and I am Kenyan. I’ve done some home-stay and have a basic knowledge on helping travelers find their way around Kenya with least hassle. You are welcome to contact me privately and I wil...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
Re: how is the living cost in mombasa - 13 years ago
First up; this is a dangerous post anywhere in the world, and even worse in the developing world. No one, and I mean no one talks about how much they take home in a public forum. It just is the kind of information that attracts hooligans. That said, if this is your monthly (and I imagine it could well be annual as most foreigners tabulate their money) then you are in awesome company. Here is ...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
Re: Where can I buy quality automotive lubricants like brake fluid and antifreeze in Kenya? - 13 years ago
Kaloleni: antifreeze is also known as coolant (or vice versa) when it is in use in a country where both are relevant. Cut the sarcasm! Searcher: most dealers here will be importers of coolant (Kenya's lowest temp ever is 10degrees centigrade and it made history; its usually 12C) so we do not talk of anti-freeze Importers will bring in coolant from South Africa or Asia. Once you get here, fran...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
Re: Area Buru-Buru - 13 years ago
Hi Jesse, Did you get into Kenya already? First up; 4k (50USD) in kenya, even for a local, and then in Buruburu is certainly a con game unless you are to live with a family and you have a bedroom to yourself, but are to share the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Alternatively, that would be realistic if it was a per day rate which would then translate to (120000) 1500 USD. You can get way way way bette...by Nyambura-M in: Kenya Travel Forum
