Up and coming…
June 18, 2008
In 5 days, I launch from my home continent to Africa.
I’m amazed that words like “country,” “continent” and “hemisphere” are all variable. According to my plane ticket, the world really is that big. Soon, my airplane will race the sun for almost a day to a place that I never imagined I would see off screen, to meet people I don’t know, and learn things I don’t know.
So where am I going?
Kenya. Nairobi and Mombassa.
Why?
To see lifestyle and culture that is as different from my own as I can imagine, which may offer a grounding for my “regular” life.
To fulfill an internship mission requirement for my degree.
I’ll be gone for 3 weeks. I’ll post in two sections: a quick overview intro followed by a depthy neurotic observation. If the internets cooperate, my goal is to post something every day. (Don’t laugh, I’ve been warned that water inside is not a guarantee).
