SONGHAIO
Overall
I wish I had known...
That it was okay to wear perfume, contrarry to medical advise given. Bring nice clothes and shoes, because there are places where you will want to dress up. don't bring any text books or electric items. They weigh too much and are cheap enough to purchase, Also you will need a converter. Most importantly: It's okay to drink (bottled) water and to eat food washed in water. following mediacl advise given by a travel nurse I didn't drink anywater for 2 months and became severely dehydrated.

I had a ball! I wished I'd been able to drag myself away to visit more of the countryside and neighboring countries!

Final comments
You will have to drag yourself to class for having such a great time. Be certain to go on the school trip to Mombasa and any safari trips; this discount is incredible. Use your student ID to (attempt) to get the Kenyan rates (There is a higher rate for Some foreingers.) Register your passport with the US embassey as soon as you get there. Don't wear your back pack behind you. It makes for easy pickings for would be pick-pockets. Wear it in front of you like a baby carrier! Always be alert of your surrounding. And the number one suggestion: Never give money to the glue kids. If they are truly pulling at your heart strings and they will, buy them food!

I wish I had known...
I already knew quite a few Kenyans here in the States andit halped me a great deal. However, there were so many little things here and there that you can only learn by living in a place for an extended amount ot time. So in retrospect, i cannot say what i wished I had known because I had to be there to learn it.

I strongly reccomende USIU-Nairobi. However, this is Kenya in East Africa, and is not for everybody, The faint of heart need not apply. Nairobi is a tough place with a lot of crime but also a lot of excitment to be had. Adapt quick and you will make it. Listen carefully to thise who have been there a long time and do as they say. Do not insist on sticking to your way or no way, it won't work here and you will end up in a bad position one day wishing you had listened.

Nairobi is a great place,but be careful. Do not trust anyone to quick and learn all the "games" that are played there. Remember, no matter how much fun you are having it is a third world country with a lot of problems and as a forigner, you sometimes make a tempting target. However, if you adapt and are very tolerant, you can have a life changing time. I loved it there, lived there twice and plan on going back to work there one day.
