"We came to see the gorrillas."
- American lady to Kenya's immigration officer.

Some cringed when I told them I'm moving to Nairobi. What the heck will I be doing in Africa? One even listed down all the bugs carrying diseases that I should be aware of.

Others got excited and even hated me for going to such an exotic destination. Of course, it's the center for safari, an activity that seems to fascinate many people. Kenya also has lakes and 2 highest mountains in Africa among which one being the member of the world's seven summits (the top is across an international border, tho'). Perhaps I'm not really a nature lover, but how'd those differ from the safari parks, lakes and mountains I've visited?

Call it the magic of air travel, but even after 15 hours covering the vast distance, even with a very different population welcoming me, it didn't feel that drastically different from home. Probably the similar climates have something to do with it.

Maybe I should explore more to have higher appreciation on the continents.
