Nairobi – Big City with Arabic & Western Influences
On the way to Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya, we spotted a terrific mixture of old and new, traditional and modern, as well as Western and African. The land has, for the most part, been cleared of forest and jungle to make way for agriculture. Where crops won’t grow, the land is used for grazing cattle and goats.
Like elsewhere in the world, the countryside reflects the traditions of the local cultures with mud huts, colorful clothing and subsistence agriculture. In cities, we saw a lot more high rise buildings, traffic jams and western clothing.
