Today my mission was to go to the Sarit Mall to activate my internet stick. I was alerted this was going to be process so I arrived at the Safaricom store armed with patience. 30 minutes later I was connected again to the internet. Much of the rest of the day was spent writing emails for consultancy positions and researching jobs. Before the sun set I went out for a walk around my neighborhood and found out much of the residents in the area were out in their walking gear doing the same thing. The residents where I live are a mix of expats, Indians, and African Kenyans - with African Kenyans holding the smallest percentage of the residents I've seen. After dark, there is little street light in the area and dangerous minds lurk along the road. It is striking how the city changes faces at night.
Later tonight I had dinner with a graduate school friend from my international field program in Ethiopia and his colleague. Currently they work for an organization that I;m very interested in and one that I had a miserable interview with. We had dinner at Art Caffe and were saranated by a jazz band on the patio. I am inspired by out conversations and have met another successful woman who is willing to help me network. I happily climb into my apartment's taxi drivers and sleep well that night.
