Nairobi

Video Transcript

“[For] someone who’s never been to Africa before, they’ll be surprised by Nairobi. Nairobi is metropolitan without the metros. It’s busy. There [are] lots of buildings. So if you’ve not been to Africa you’d be surprised that, “Oh, they do have buildings. They have tall buildings. They have, not really skyscrapers, but tall buildings.’ Everybody’s on the go. It’s very, very, very, very busy.

"For the most part, do not wear your jewelry in Nairobi. It will attract people. And you don’t want to be, you don’t want to be a victim. So stay away from your jewelry. Do not put [it] on. What else? It’s very, very busy. Busy traffic. People just walking all over. It’s offices, that’s where the government offices are. So everything is centered in Nairobi. Nice-looking cars, bad-looking cars, buses, minivans, there’s everything. There’s everything in there.”

In this video, a native Kenyan discusses life in Nairobi.
