so I'm browsing through the wonderous world of google analytics for this blog, which is rad to the power of 4 by the way- I can see in colourful graph form my traffic sources, map overlays of my international page hits, and best of all, search engine key words that lead to my website-
...when I saw that someone had googled "people getting beat with a stick" and somehow ended up on my site.
I'm flattered?
Oh and in the last month, I've had visits from Canada, China, US, Germany, Kenya, Hong Kong, France, Costa Rica, Spain, and United Arab Emirates.
jiggawhaaaa? shoutouts to my Kenyan brothers and sisters.
Google earth also shows me an aerial map of the location where you accessed my blog.
Just kidding.
You know you just shut your blinds though. Lookin' goooooood !

Okay. The jig is up. I'm your Kenyan brother/sister! :P
ReplyDeleteI've been creeping your blog for the last couple months. Kept meaning to comment!
Anyway, I'm in Nairobi until the end of August. It's awesome, but not as adventurous as your Asian (world?) tour.
I'm sure you would've preferred to think this was a tribal Kenyan reading you from under a tree in the Masai Mara between bouts of fighting lions. Sorry! :P (I really wish that was me, too)

hahhaahahahahahahaha
ReplyDeletewhen I said draw your blinds, I should have added hide under your baobab tree. I can totally see you gunjan.
Anyways, Nairobi! That is sick, what are you doing there?? For the record, as crazy as my Asian tour is, Africa is still my holy grail of destinations to be conquered, so you've got that on me!
you better reply, or I will have to continue stalking you on google earth.
My baobab tree has great wifi, remarkably enough.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Nairobi for co-op, working as a research coordinator at a private hospital here. Haven't gotten to travel much, but what I've seen has been incredible, and I don't think I'll want to come back!
How long are you in Chine? I'm here till August. Will you graduate after this term? What will you do?? More questions???
woah that sounds so rad. stay there. don't come back. just think of how uneventful life will be like back in canada. I think about that and get scared. every day. especialy with my office job waitng for me in september. i may just go in crisis mode and blow off real life to become a globe trotter cum beggar, since i will have to do something to keep up my lifestyle!
ReplyDeletein china until july or august. school ends in June, but i am doing some travelling through china first and then tim epermitting through south east asia. Amflying out of bangkok on Sept 6 or someihng and start work at proctor and gamble in toronto 2 weeks later.
talk about a rude awakening and snapping back to reality.
are u done school or is this one of those work placement things?
Are you comig back to canada?
do you see lions every day?
do you sleep in a house in the trees?
i can ask more questions than you?
I know! Even though I am stuck in an office for the majority of the week, I absolutely love it here and am terrified by the prospect of going back to my ordinary life in Canada. Yeah this is a work placement, so I still have another 3 semesters left at UW (since my degree is 5 years and I took a year off. Yay for being slow at life) I'm seriously considering just staying. Or staying in this lifestyle anyway. I need to see more of Africa. And then return to India. And then the rest of the world!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you've made the time to travel. My job ends literally a week before the semester starts, in which I have to find an apartment, move all my shit, and shed many tears over not being in Africa anymore. Bah.
Congrats on having an awesome job lined up already, but yeah, I can see the travel bug is strong in you.
As for your other questions, I'd say The Lion King is the most apt description of life in Kenya. With me in the starring role as Simba, obv. (Btw "simba" means "lion" in Swahili. "Rafiki" is "friend." Awesome no?)
But realistically, the political situation in Kenya is majorly fucked, Nairobi is supposedly the most dangerous city in Africa (though I've managed to avoid trouble for the most part), and I've met the most amazing people. Also clubs here are open till sunrise. Life is good, and never dull.
:D
