Arrival at Goethe-Institut Nairobi
The 1st working day @ Goethe-Institut right in the centre of Nairobi. A lot of huge business buildings, shopping malls, small shops and restaurants make you first feel, like in many other metropolitan cities.
At the Goethe-Institut we meet the very nice people working here: Marie, Katharina, Barbara, Irene, Peter, Anne, Julia, Patrick, James, Judy, Esther and Johannes. Today there are many excellent german speeking Africans at the Institut: German teachers from South Africa to Camerun, from Mozambique to Cote d’Ivoire who are having a teachers training seminar.
We had lunch with Johannes at a Swahili restaurant called the Kingfisher (Koinange Street) and one of these excellent coffees at Java, a local coffee house where the busy CBD crowd hangs out. Sven spent the afternoon at the National Theatre and met some of the local musicians. We stay for supper at the terrace of Kengeles (also Koinange Street) and call it a day.
