A reason to love Africa... CULTURE.

I come bearing news, despite the face that every other day in the media you see people in Africa killing each other over little quarrels, men opting for 'beastiality' rather than the overload of beautiful voluminous African mamas running around all over this planet, here's a reason to pick Africa...

Not that I am speaking from a very patriotic (Kenyan citizen...) point of view. We have culture in the overload. Get me right, especially if you have been to Kenya and found your way to the Masaai market, or that beaches in Mombasa, you missed out, you should come back and ask me to show you the real Kenya. Culture by definition is the

'the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.' 
 
Que, when you found yourself in Kenya did you go to any rural village where you interacted with locals who have not been influenced by urbanization. When you come to Africa did you stay at The Intercontinental. or at The Sarova Stanley and then boarded a flight to Mombasa of Kisumu or whichever other destination only to spend countless hours inside a tent reading a novel or looking at the stars or worse taking photos of snakes. News, you should have stayed where you are from... what is the use of visiting a county only to spend all you time couped up within the norm. Live a little, love a little, and just so you know, not every African wants to steal from you or have your babies, just saying. There are over 42 tribes in Kenya, I.e,
 
'Kenya is home to a large number of ethnic groups, including the Kikuyu (the largest single group at around 22%), the Luo, and the Maasai. The population included three of the four major linguistic groups found in Africa: Bantu (approximately 67%), Nilotic (30%) and Cushitic (around 3%).' 
 
This is a gold mine of knowledge and culture, explore that. I can assure you that every tribe is unique and rich enough to quench a lot of your lack. News enough?!
 
Nekh.
