Titbits from the officedesk

I still need to sort my Mt. Kenya pics.. they will be posted shortly!
Im currently sitting at the office looking out on the grey Nairobi sky. We are in the middle of the Short Rains. Some tregard this season the worst as it sometimes rains in the morning when u go to work and in the evening when u go home..
The weeks up to the season has been marked by dcores of flowering Jakaranda Trees (pics will come!)Their purple flowers mark the comming of Christmas too.
Since I last spoke of Work I have gotten a new boss! Her name is Charlotte Just and she has been at home minding her two small kids for close to 2 years so she is eager to get things done. At the same time she herself was an intern some years ago so she is determined to make the best of my presence, which all in all has given way to a lot more interesting tasks than my first month here.. Basically I am kept busy in a good way. (and yes I am aware that anyone can find this page by google..)
Nxt week Nairobi hosts the COP12 s follow up om The Kyoto protocolls. A big danish delegation is comming and we are probably going to be quite busy.
Later to day I am going to my first meeting in the UN on the COP12 issues (more on all that later)
Yesterday I got my self a bike! Anders the 1. secretary has had it unused in his garage so he has agreed to lend it to me! I really miss biking in Cph!
here biking is for nutters.. as it was explained to me:
"bicykles do not pay roadtax, so naturally they have no right to be on the road!"
I biked home yesterday.. nxt to the road.. they dont really belive in sidewalks here, but people offcause walk anyways so there are always some kind of path, the biggest annoyance is the fumes from all the trucks and cars who definetely would not pass a normal danish environmental check.. anyways I did get some funny looks as I sweatinly went past the kangemi slums, the local do bike here, the only bikes awailable are the Indian retrobikes one can get in Copenhagen for round 1250,- Dkkr. They are really bad indian quality and break often, but the god thing about that is that every other streetcorner has somebody with a small bike fixing stall..
Business.. In afrika everybody does business.. Small scale, big scale no scale.. everything (especially in a big city like Nairobi) costs money. If u thought living in the slums were "free" think again. u gotta pay rent, pay for water, pay for toilet etc. (I think I make an entry with pics about african smallscale business).
Hmm just lost track.. the sandwich man was here! (another example of smallscale business.
Mmmm sandwich...

My parents and my big brother is comming to visit me! YAY! Just after christmas! well be doing Safari, Hiking, Biking and Beaches! And maybe even a bit of culture! more on the final program later!
Hope u all know that u are more than wellcome to come see me down here! I even gor a spare room for u to sleep in!
