I heard this story from Inho on the way back to Nairobi by his car. I couldn’t believe there was a huge flood like this near Korr. ^^ I am so happy to find your blog. Keep in touch!

@jke,
I would love to believe your mantra, especially with more emphasis on “real”. I take real in this instance to mean, “that which is authentic, the unchangeable truth in reference both to being/the Self and the external dimension of experience, also referred to as the infinite and absolute – as opposed to a reality based on sense perception and the material order.”

all this is subject to interpretation as to which is better of course; the “real” or “that which is based on perception.” I think the techies here would say that they want that which is not “real” – in terms of “changed by technology”

not exactly sure what am saying here…I guess i am just projecting from your point jke

Maan! The great thing about the story is not how it happened but your attitude towards it all. Saying

is not just just funny – its a great idea of the attitude we should have when things are not going as well as we expect they should be. Stay safe!

HA! You know, we got stuck in almost the same situation in NE Uganda this time last year. Glad you are safe, but keep an eye on that hand man. IODINE. Hate the idea of you getting your Snows of Kilimanjaro on 🙂

@Sleepless: 100% d’accord.

The upcountry Kenya is the *real* Kenya.
