      ​@@gavinmcleod7446 American mall are the worst in terms of design in the world. Kenyan standard include children play areas, the other is greenery in and outside the malls. That is why Nairobi is soo green. Which Mall in America has a Go-cart space. and a river within a mall. and many more.

    Village Market is my favorite mall in Nairobi. There are other, much bigger malls here, but Village Market feels very "homey" to me. My other favorites are Westgate & Sarit (Although Sarit is a bit of a maze and I've gotten lost a few times- but I love the rooftop food court area 😂)

    Development is not measured by malls. Development is measured by how many skilled workers and how many scientists per million of the population, by the structure of the economy, by the composition of goods and services which are produced in the economy, by the diversity of local supply chains from raw materials to finished goods, the quality of infrastructure such as roads, railways, electricity, telecommunication services, water and sewerage services, quality of housing, the quality of health care services.

Visit Kisumu, any county or Kericho and you might think otherwise about what you thought you knew. I said trust me. Karibu.

    Was there 8 months ago. Two rivers was great. Rode the Ferris wheel at night. As far as being like North American city. It’s similar I agree. But as like most cities in most countries it has very nice sometimes elite areas and then very poor slum areas as well. Homeless people sleeping in fields that was told never to go around. Maybe you didn’t experience the Mzungo tax there as I did. Not everywhere. But enough. Encountered some very rude street people downtown Nairobi. But again. That’s any big city you go to. There are small areas that are very clean but my impression was most was dirty compared NA. Anyway. Glad you’re having a great experience. I did as well. My advice is get out into the rural areas more. See how the majority of Kenyans live.
