Today has been my first full day in Nairobi. I went to bed around what was perhaps midnight, and awoke around 8am to the phonecall of my parents. Actually, the sky was so ambiguosly colored I woke up minutes before on my own accord, fearing that I had slept through a noon meetup.
I've seen very little of Nairobi. However, I marched down to a shopping mall called the YaYa Centre today, and spent an ungodgly $40 on food. What is far worse, however, is the fact that there remains nothing for me to eat. -- no spices, certainly. I forgot my beloved 'liquid aminos' at home, which almost made me cry this afternoon. I've certainly been fantisizing about having my bottle of Braggs express-mailed to Kenya. To be honest, at this point I can't think of anything that would turn me on more.

I'm feeling a it frustrated and a bit antsy, but I am trying to combat these emotions by reading. Im about one hundred pages into Ursual Le Guin's The Dispossed. I don't think my trip to Utopialand will be rounded out until I sample Thomas More's classic, however.

I was able to come up with a list of reading questions. Namely, under the anarchist frame, (1) what are the advantages of rule without government? and , (2) is it possible to have 'freedom' in a soceity with government?

there are such lovely trees in kenya.
