Big city, good times........

Nairobi the capital of Kenya has about 2000000 folks. it is big time capital city with everything on offer. If you dont mind spending a buck you can have a great time shopping and feasting!
This was my gateway city from the uk to Rwanda so on arrival it was grubby...returning one week later from Rwanda it was glitzy!! So depending on where Nairobi falls on your itineary so will your impression crystallize...

The rich and the poor...
life on the edge... - Nairobi

life on the edge...

Just off Kenyatta Avenue, the glitzy thoroughfare of Nairobi, wealth looms over the more blighted dreams of demolished poverty. Most developing cities and even first world realms exhibit this inequality of capitalist progress..
