    I am so confused and proud at the same time...like yoooh, 'Mambo fam?'... That made me so happy, plus how you articulate yourself using English, kidogo slang(sheng)... That is such a typical Kenyan way to communicate, we rarely know what the next word will fall under, English, Swahili or sheng.. You guys are really adapting fully, I love that.

    I just like how you interject with Kiswahili words for emphasis when you do your storytelling, quite impressive. If you really put your mind to it, you can learn Kiswahili very quickly. It is a phonetic language and doesn't have a large vocabulary like English. The only issue with Kenya or more specifically Nairobi is that "sheng" which is our slang or patois is used alongside Kiswahili. Outside of Nairobi not so much and definitely not in Mombasa. So you should pick up slang words that are used often even as you learn Kiswahili.

    Cars are quite complicated to buy if second hand. Best go to an official dealer of a manufacturer you know. Downside is the price and may be customized for local conditions. If second hand, then use someone that you know well who has lived long in Nairobi to guide you. Toyota is quite good with both new and used, but maintenance is easiest to have in Kenya.

    In Kenya bargaining in only done in low income places it is very rare to bargain in high income places such as malls people just buy because most of the clothes and items are brand new and genuine products leave the bargaining to low income settings i.e. just check where you purchase from if it looks classy or bougie please don't bargain this is frowned upon but if the place is like the market its fine. if you don't like the price you look for another better priced shop this is the culture in bougie settings.

    Second hand clothes are thrifts, maybe not just as glamorous in Ke Lc Wakiki and Mr Price are overpriced. There's a similar Kenyan store though; Alladin, world of Brands.

      Actually Alladin in TRM stock clothes that are exported to the US and the left overs are sold in Kenya. I've visited the store a few times in TRM mall since it is in my neighboudhood and the prices are very affordable. The only issue is that it is a small store and doesn't have a lot of variety.
