NORMALITY IS RESTORED!

A good sign that things are getting back to business-as-usual in Nairobi is that the National Public Library's hours are back to normal. They had cut them back significantly since the elections. Open till 6:30pm Monday-Thursday once again. Whew.

The library recently slapped up photocopies of a poster all over the inside and outside of the building. The poster has a picture of a white dude with a furtive look on his face and one hand in his jacket, and at the top it says DON'T STEAL, NEIL!

Ah yes, Nairobi, where 'normal' life as an American means a constant low level barrage of surreal little details.
