The World of Kenya-part duex

It goes far beyond language communication here in kenya. I've found
that kenyans can have an entire conversation with one person asking
questions and the other one making the sound of a long "A". The other
is they can have whole conversations with just whistling. Different
whistles mean different things like "lunch is ready", "where are
you?", and "come here" etc. I gotta learn how to whistle now too!
Kenyan mamas giving birth is much different. If they come to the
dispensary then it takes about 1.5 hrs and you'll hear no sounds from
the mama in labor and then a crying baby. Then she goes home!
(personal experience one night, it was a girl and she was named
charity) Then it's back to work in the shambas, cooking, or cleaning.
A lot of mamas give birth at home with midwife help and i heard of one
mama that delievers by herself! Youth play offical soccer matches
barefoot. And kenyans love being tour guides and explaining everything
they know about the area. It's great and it's free!
