@Wanjiru,i swear we spent two weeks looking for a house,unless you know someone from here who can do the legwork for you its stress why lie.Even the guy i met here admit looking for a house here is demanding and no i was not looking for an apartment just a nice house.

I was talking about buying normal groceries nothing fancy and its expensive,and seeing i have 2 babies to feed,i count my pennies kabisa.Beer is cheap i agree and fare too but truth be told people here need to diversify their income generating activities

Okay definitely bananas here are cheaper its 10 bob each and i was shocked when i went to the market and couldn't get it for less.Where i lived before a banana was 6 bob do you can understand my shock,i actually got a pine apple at kshs 100 . Maybe i should start some fruit and veggie business in Kisumu i would rake in thousands.


It is no wonder then that a number of people here are caught up in a cycle of poverty.They have land and water why cant people here get on the green house bandwagon and use drip irrigation to supply just a fraction of what clearly is in high demand-fresh fruits and vegetables.

Anyway it is too depressing to see all these young people operating boda bodas and motorbikes when they could be doing something else,there are a lot of poor people here than i have seen in the town i have lived in.I guess i just have to learn to live with it till i get to move to a cheaper town ....lol.

So basically the Muliro and Kachmega stories are tied... These people cannot afford to hire a room for the hour (or minute) so they opt for the free option.. Mazee, I'm getting ideas for an Airtel ad..
