Hmmm…I am not quite sure how to begin this post. Oh well, I guess there’s no better place to begin at than at the beginning, so here goes: A while back, on a busy Tuesday, as I was going about doing all the things I needed to get done that day, I received a phone [...]

It seems to me as though there might be a restaurant called Mediterraneo in each of the East African capital cities. In Nairobi, there are the two wonderful Mediterraneos in Westlands and at The Junction. In Dar-es-Salaam, there is the beautiful Mediterraneo in Kawe, which will be the subject [...]

In a previous post , I told you about how I love to surf the Internet at the Books First Ukay cybercafé because it’s quiet, inexpensive, and a place where I can focus and concentrate when I need to get some work done. Sometimes, although I need to get online, I am in the mood [...]
