First day

Well, I arrived in Nairobi last night. 21 hours travel time can take a bit out of you. I got in the slowest line for check in and all the time and detail I spent in filling out my declarations paperwork to enter the country was pointless, as I handed it to a person who didn't even look at the paper as I handed it to him.
I had to trek quite a ways to the taxi through the rain and mud, but made it. I got in the taxi where I was encouraged to sit up front, but found that in the muggy heat, the handle had been broken for the window and I could not roll it down. The driving here is insane to say the least. I thought we were going to get in about 50 accidents. Traffic was stopped in all directions by the police for a VIP who never showed. The streets split off in a series of Y's with no signage as to where they lead. We passed several factory workers at a checkpoint who were hoping for rides home & officers with AK47's. People just wandered out in between the traffic selling peanuts and such.
When I arrived here at the Wildebeest Camp, I was greeted by a lot of friendly travellers and some wonderful Masaai people who work here. I've learned after chatting with people that we in the US, make a huge deal out of malaria, where here, most people do not use bug repellent or take meds due to the expense. If you think you have malaria, you get tested and they give you some pills. It's kind of viewed like the flu or a cold in the states.
I've also been informed not to go to the police for help, and not to stand out when I see them. A far cry from the states. It's just as well, as the people here are friendly enough for me to do without them.
I will go into town today & get a sim card and look around. I am due to check out tomorrow, but don't have a definite plan yet. Most of the folks at the hostel don't, so I feel a little better about that. I must go, but I'll post when I can.
