African Rush on 1st day in Kenya;)

So we reached our final destination last night. We are staying at the outskirts of Nairobi. It's called Karen. At first I was like... there is a Karen's hospital, there is a Karen's high school. Who is this Karen? He has to be some kind of fat cat here. But sadly there is no Karen (would be good topic for a movie though) - it's a name of our district.

We just researched a bit, looked for interesting stories, meet some local contacts of ours and took a nice walk. It seems that doing documentaries here would not be easy. Day is pretty short here. It's pitch black at 7PM already. Besides you can definitely sense why Nairobi is called one of the most (maybe the most!) dangerous cities in Africa. It's not like people were hostile but we could see that they are not to friendly as well.

So our first day was quite slow but it's not so easy to get anything done here really. People are sooooo slooooow. It's called African Rush:) And here you can see an example of their style of work.

It was done with a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX5V that I bought lately. It seems to be quite a handy camera for both photos and videos and I will definitely write something more about it soon.
