"Some hungry mzungu has a dead end job in London where he lives in a 2 bedroom nondescript municipal flat 20 meters from the train terminal, takes child to a public school while the wife house keeps and works half day.
He takes up a job he is unqualified for in Nairobi, calls himself an expat, in Nairobi he moves to a 5 bedroomed house in Kitisuru, gets free househelp, garderner, 4 askaris, a fuel guzzler for weekend escapade to the Mara, Nanyuki or Rhino charge, school fees for kids at them expensive schools and allowance for wife to hang out at Artcaffe."
Guess which city is expensive  they call Africans immigrants and whites in Africa are called expats hahaha. But some of them are qualified some are not (some are qualified in one thing and come here to do totally different stuff). but both ways - these guys never go back. I had a boss who after doing rounds in a number of countries in Africa and was from Mexico... landed here and it was just right... Nairobi is like a goldilocks zone for Mzungus. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
