Welcome to Africa..JAMBO..

And so we start! Yes, this is the very first entry in this blog for 2008. I don't plan to change the world with this blog... but maybe it will give you a small glimpse into life here in, East Africa. Posting few pictures of Kenya, Tanzania & Zanzibar.

Just get in a car and drive across town! And see the glory... Oh, it's all over the place. Smiles on so many faces, laughter as I pass roadside shops. Beautiful amazing random artwork on ceramic pots for sale along Ngong Road. Flowers on almost every plant, year around, so you should come to Africa. Not just to visit - but to live. Then you can really see what life is like. Very good climate all twelve months, between 20 to 30 degree & mangoes to eat throughout the year.

I'm really excited about ICT development here. Maybe I'm naive, but I think the undersea cables are going to revolutionize business and development initiatives in the region. It just takes some creative thinking, planning and initiative. None of that is really lacking. But I'm concerned at people who assume the African markets deserve dumped down products. The demand is there. Where's the product? I'm sure it's coming.

Kenya's most well-known ethnic tribe, the Maasai (or Masai) are semi-nomadic people located primarily in Kenya and northern Tanzania. This is one the best expressions of faith I have ever come across. They are considered to be part of the Nilotic family of African tribal groups, just as the Scilluk from Sudan and the Acholi from Uganda.
