I taught At Yansghuo Middel School of Foreign Languages. It was more up the hill, not in the city centre. I still have contact with people who live there.. I was there in 2005 as well.. and they see it has been changed a lot. They even have a Burger King now :S Its turning into a city.. I love to go back someday, just to see all those people again.. Did u go often to the Buffalo bar? I went quite often, especially to the quiz! :D That was sooo much fun :D

Thanks for your comment on my profile. The pic you are (porbably) commenting on was taken from top of Mt. Batur in Bali, Indonesia. But I have been to Kenya, too.
