PreGrad ASIA-M.E.-AFRICA

Just to clear up any confusion, I will be arriving back in the states on the 10th of January. I will be in Detroit from the 12th until the 16th before heading back to NYC to begin classes.

Ok, so with that off my chest, lets begin the bitchin’

I don’t have all that much time to write, so more will have to come in two days when I arrive in Israel. I am currently at the Nairobi Safari Club hotel, compliments of Kenya Airways. Yes, I have been promoted one more time, with the exception of an overbooked flight and a screwed up bus journey from Cairo. Let me explain.

I arrived to the airport today with the expectation that I would be in Cairo by nightfall. Instead, the damn airline told me that there was no more place and I would thus have to fly another day. Well, with the way I planned my return to Israel, that nonesense would not stand. After watching the plane take off without me one hour after it was supposed to leave, I received a few hundred dollars and a night at Nairbi’s five star hotel. The flip side is that I will be arriving in Cairo in the afternoon, and thus my bus to the Sinia/Israel crossing will have to take place at 2 in the morning. But, such is travel. I guess my odds have been pretty good along the way of my 17 seperate plane rides.

I’m sure you all would like to know how the trip went in the Northern regions of Kenya. Well there is much to tell. However, at 10 shillings per minute (16 cents) I need to get off this darn computer. You guys won’t believe the pictures of this place, Turkana. Just awesome.

Happy New year, Chanukah, and Christmas.
