I have a tradition where I try my hardest to not eat, have diner, in the same place. See, I think its good adventure to try out new places and thats what I have been trying to do in Nairobi.
With this post, I will try and enlighten you on some of the places worth checking out and those to avoid….. I cant remember all the restaurants I have been to but these ones definitely left an impression in my head!

I should mention that the breakfast menu at Tea Spot - Koinange Street is totally fantastic and the ambiance it quite something!!!!!
Im going to give an indepth analysis of Whitney’s album [I look to you]. I think I can say with conviction that I can because I so far listened to it three times.
Here goes nothing:
IT SUCKS!
You can call me a hater but I can tell you this… I love Whitney, she has removed some classic songs….. Songs that we all know… but with this album, she is forgettable at best. I am so disappointed…….. These are songs that CASSIE, AMERIE, NIVEA and the like would do.
Whitney, please contact Mariah and ask advice on how to make a comeback.

So if you havent listened or heard of Sauti Sol… you are just an ignorant Kenyan. I think they are awesome. This coming from someone who doesnt have time for MOST of the Kenyan “artists”……
