I know the topic was brought up to get a good laugh, but please realize there are many of us silent ones out there that don't fit any of these cliches. And making fun of us is hurtful.

I get it, some of us acquire twengs, adopt peculiar dressing habits and never speak our mother tongue, let alone Kiswahili. When we travel home we tend to think it is cool to show off the same.

But there is many of us who have been gone from home 10 or more years and still speak our mother tongue, dress normally and go un-noticed when in the streets of Nai. Cut us some slack.

And just for fun, if I say I do research, what would you translate that to mean? Impunity niambie.

Customer service usually sucks in +254, but who says you have to assume EVERYONE in customer service sucks??

Example, once at Art Caffe and the summer bunnies call for service..waiter comes and they are not ready to order..so "we" chat for a cool 5mins on a busy evening as people are deciding what to order. Waiter indicates she will be back shortly when we ready to order..which she did another 5 mins later..the sanctimonious loud lecture she was given for "leaving the table unserviced" was appalling!!! classless.

And they share pictures of their apartments, cars etc. but always forget to share work place pictures!
