Yestday we found the nicest toilet we have seen so far. IT was very exciting. It lives at a restaurant in Kittengela. They also have very very good fried chicken there. Getting chicken in restaurants is a treat since its not too common. Unfortuntaely you eat it with the knowledge that it was probably that chicken you saw crossing the road an hour ago. So these things go.
Yesterday we also went inside a traditional Masai (the local tribe) hut. THey are constructured from manure with a very narrow entry way meant for people even shorter than me, and maybe one or two tiny slits to act as ventilation. The shape if sort of like an igloo. They burn a fire inside at all times to maintain a layer of smoke. The smoke helps keep the mosquitos away, however the inhabitants generally have awful respiratory problems. Its a trade off theyre willing to make however to keep from getting malaria. Apparently most people build up a half resistance to it throughout life by geting it again and again, which provides a little protection but not enough.
