my first blog entry from Kenya, I was provided with the heading "Some things about Charlie," and actually wanted to regular reports from him and the bat. However, I soon got used to my roommate and his little noises in the night that I completely forgot about him. Until Sunday evening a cheerful start fluttering in my room. Charly was probably going on as usual flown out to gather food, but it seems I did not act even a Charley, but a Charline, their offspring now fly practiced diligently. I was very happy that I have a stable mosquito net because otherwise the little bat would be the often landed on my blanket. So they crawled around but only on my mosquito net, and flew off to go to land at the window and then went back to my mosquito net. Real-time a bat so fascinating to look at from up close:). Meanwhile, the youngsters now seems to go in search of food, because it is very quiet at night again until the bats for 5:30 clock back.
In the last week I have also the first time seen monkeys in the wild. I have been traveling again with a matatu when I saw the monkeys on the roadside. There were so about 6-7 pieces that are probably interested for the things that make people so lying on the roadside. And while we're at Matatus: A few facts about the vans:
- The man who for boarding and alighting of passengers is responsible is often contacts ... to recognize the fact that he more or less attached to the outside of the door.
- Matatus There are belts.
- there in the first row in the matatu even seat belts ... at least I understand the reactions of the passengers just in case police is nearby.
- Each matatu has a small fire extinguisher and a spare tire.
- tire changes is by using stones and similar a pit stop in Formula 1: It usually takes less than 5 minutes and the passengers are of course sitting in the matatu.
- Matatus also drive by 120 kmh.
- particular, from the outside, not quite in new Matatus have an extremely loud sound system. Matatus of the newer varieties have some even small screens, to play the appropriate video clips to the songs.
- Fährgäste Matatus one may (with the exception of children) do not sit on each other, but must always sit next to each other ... no matter how closely it may be.
- And finally: the ticket prices could with the time of day and thus change the number of passengers.
I'd like you to show a photo of a matatu, but they are always so fast ...
