God kveld! (That means “good evening” in Norwegian. Rejoice.)
So we’ve finally returned to Mombasa. Over the next three weeks, we’ll all be staying with Swahili families, mainly in Old Town, while commuting every day to the SIT office for a series of lectures on coastal Kenyan culture, history, and politics.
During my commute this morning, it occurred to me that, despite the many pictures we’ve uploaded for your viewing pleasure, what Mombasa/Old Town actually feels like probably has escaped most of you. So, in my infinite genius, I decided to turn on my camera and hold it out while walking from my house to class. What came out was a shaky mess, but I tried to clean it up a bit, throw a beat behind it, and chop it up in a serious way.
So, with that, enjoy this little video (and please don’t get sick!). I’ll post more soon about my family, our lectures, etc.
Kwa heri!
