This dash home has inspired the following ‘expat/social stereotype’ story... search back through this blog and you will find many more..
The diary of a British expat living in Kenya. News, views, debate and a healthy dose of trivia.
Oh - the stereotype story is just so, so true. Hope you enjoy your flying (literally!) visit home!
ReplyDeleteAfrica gets under your skin, oh, indeed. I understand your sentiments! I was married in Kenya (Nyeri) while my husband was a Peace Corps Volunteer and I was not (being Dutch and just coming over to be with him). After that we just kept going with the wandering life and lived in Ghana, West Africa, twice, for a total of almost 8 years, and in a number of other countries as well. Still, we love Africa the best - East or West. Yes, stereotypes are hard to deal with when you're back home.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog and am interested to read more. Do you have property in Kenya, or are you considering buying?
Enjoy the good stuff!
