I take my clothes for dry cleaning; I take passport photos and make photocopies; I take care of my stationary needs (and buy emergency gifts).
I buy clothing of all kind—wardrobe staples and dress-up items. Sometimes, I look around just for the pleasure of the eye without really buying much.
On this floor, I take care of some makeup and cosmetic needs not only for me, but for my Mom who often sends me to buy a particular brand of facial products which she has a hard time finding anywhere else in East Africa.
Yaya’s second floor, for me, is a lot less about running errands and a lot more about socializing and relaxing.
I often catch a meal at one of Yaya’s many second floor eateries. When I need to get online but don’t intend to do so for too long, I surf the net on Yaya’s second floor. When looking for a book to read, I make sure to stop by one of my favorite bookstores, which is also located on this floor.
When in need of fitness related items, that too I take care of here.

These are some of the things that keep taking me back to Yaya again and again.
I haven’t mentioned any floor above the second floor because I rarely have business there (those floors mostly house offices) though I have on occasion visited doctors’ offices and the Yaya Centre management office for the purpose described in this post, on those upper floors.
What keeps taking you to Yaya over and over again? How well do you feel Yaya Centre is living up to its slogan of “Y go anywhere else?”?
As usual, I look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Wishing you well,
Biche

Chia Lounge Yaya Centre
Chia Lounge is allegedly a high-end gay brothel located on Yaya Centre’s ground floor owned by Rachel Ruto, the wife of William Ruto, Kenya’s new president.
Hmmm…I can neither confirm nor deny that Chia Lounge exists and, given that this is a Kenyan election year, this could be pure slander.
If you, on the other hand have more authoritative information about Chia Lounge and what kind of establishment it is, please let me know by leaving me a comment below.
