Living in Nairobi

Personal highlights

  1. Central Business District (CBD): busy heart of a pulsating African metropolis
  2. Business: the place for big corporations, but not the cool technology startups
  3. Skyline: Nairobi has 20 buildings with 20+ stories and 20 more in planning
  4. Banks: there are endless banks / ATMs in CBD, but none worked on a holiday
  5. Memorial Park: who remembers the US embassy bombings from 1998?
