We just left the market. Wow. People are all shouting at you to "promote" them (buy their stuff). You haggle for everything. A little girl waved at me with a big smile and touched my skin - maybe because she doesn't see many white people. It was a really intimidating experience. People would insist on showing you other stuff, so they grab your arm to lead you away. They stand really close to you, and everyone loves America because of Obama. They will trade anything. Lots of people wanted my Bic pen.

Another thing is "Kenyan time." They don't have it. It doesn't matter to them. If we are supposed to leave at 8, we leave at 10:30. One guy had a shirt that said: "I'm not lazy. I'm Kenyan." Awesome.
