I was buying veggies from a vendor yesterday and we had this conversation.
Me: Prices are going up every day what's up
Vendor: That is why we are not getting married
Me:ooh, why is that?
Vendor: Now, the last time i bought maize flour it was Fifty shillings, how much is it now, you might know yourself.
Honestly i don't do shopping
When i don't know something, i just smile
Vendor: Wacha mtu akae kwao na mimi nikae kwetu, tuonane Sunday and then we can pretend to be married
Vendor: Can you imagine the way life is hard, what if i have to take a child to school, the cheapest is 3k, Si nitakufa?
Me: You can't die, you just pray to God to provide
Vendor: If God was among us, i could go direct to him...you know but now i don't even know where He is
At that point i laughed, paid and left.
Lol. Great conversation. I have had one or two in the same vein with a few people- mostly how expensive it is to have children ! Look forward to more from you
ReplyDeleteA typical international school in this country charges around 200-350k per term for a day scholar. Some boarders pay 600K+. And every day you see those buses full.
ReplyDeleteKenya is fast becoming a land of extreme disparities.
The disparities btwn the rich and the poor is so extreme such that one may think there are two countries called kenya......very sad
