Finally! Rain... and it has many faces

Bar owners see the surface of their terrace reduced... to 30 percent of the normal...

Waiters and guards are happy... "Now we can assist clients with umbrellas and get an extra tip so we can pay our bus fare tonight..."

Farmers smile..."Finally...but the cows that did not die will die because they start drinking, the animals are not used to water anymore..."

Villagers are sad... "The roads are swept away..."

Expats in Landcruisers are angry... "Holy cow: Still no proper system to keep roads free of excess water..."

City council of Nairobi is happy... "Mmhhh might be a good opportunity to raise some extra donor funds to repair our sewage systems...”

Tourists cry... "This is not the weather we paid for, the brochures promised us something else..."

Europeans are surprised..."I thought it was so dry and dusty in Africa..."

Taxi driver Kamau and his colleagues are happy: "Put some extra shillings on the price...they have no choice and my wife will be happy..."

Street vendors make some extra business with selling their China-made umbrellas...

bar owners in the city are happy are bars remain full as wise motorists wait out the rain and traffic.

also happy are mechanics whose garages will soon be full of cars with rattling suspenions and other mech problems caused by flooded roads
