    Brittany – Nairobi is a very very big city – most people speak English. In the more rural areas of Kenya people may not speak/read English but in the city it is very common.

  8. Wale Says:

    Um, English is the official spoken language in Kenya.

  9. Chris Says:

    English is one of the official languages in Kenya. I like the Obama campaign slogan in the back (Change we can believe in). No big surprise though, since his father was from Kenya.

  10. Chris Says:

    Wow, this is great. Nice slogan

  11. Kelsey Says:

    Good to see Arsenio Hall is working again.

  12. Dave Says:

    Anybody notice the “Change we can believe in” painted on the back wall of the shop?
