Why is there a fridge in my hallway?

There are some strange things that happen in Kenya. For one- why is there a fridge in my hallway next to my door? It was there last night when I returned home from the gym and grocery shopping and it was still there this morning when I left for work... strange...

Another oddity is that it takes a letter from the President to get a bank account here... well not that bad, but you do have to jump through a number of hoops in order to get your bank account established. So far, here are the steps that I have to go through in order to have a bank account:
1. Bring written letter from the Director of my organization saying that I work here- plus with his signature, along with the signature of the CFO AND the signature of my manager.
2. 2 passport sized photos to include
3. Complete an application form and have someone (Kenyan) witness and agree that I am capable of having a bank account.

I have a feeling that there will be another step in there- which the tellers will tell me about once I think I have gotten everything ready.

Anyway these are things that I think you just have to go along with, not question too much, and just consider it as part of the living experience in Kenya.

I have also managed to become a real gimp here in Nairobi. Because there are no sidewalks, just dirt paths with large rocks I have managed to roll my ankle twice in the course of 3 days. Thankfully people brought ice to the Thanksgiving supper so I am technically using the leftovers to ice my foot :)

Heading out for Indian food tonight, then checking out a bar in town that has an "oldies" night- not sure what type of music they will play for oldies, but should be an adventure that I will be sure to report on!
