Nairobi, Kenya
"where did you live in africa, what for, what did you think of it"
I lived in Dar Es Salam, Tanzania. But went to a boarding school in Kenya (the same one my dad went to growing up when is parents lived in Kenya). As for why we were they, I was 4 years old when we moved there in 1998, it wasn't my choice, but my parents.
I enjoyed Africa, weather was always nice, we lived on the beach so nice access to swimming, we went on safari's a lot and saw a lot of cool stuff, we've been attacked by a hyena (believe it or not it was my younger sisters scream that scared it off, lol), elephants (flipped a car once, luckily not our car but a friends, another time it was interested in our camp fire cause there was some elephant bones nearby, we just had to stay silent until it left), and baboons.
Our house was infected with a black mamba (second most poisonous snake in the world iirc) twice.
In other words it was a miracle that we all escaped alive and unharmed, well thats not completely true, mother got blinded with she was infected with malaria, it was actually her loss of sight that caused us to move back to Canada.
