Matatu is what they call some of the public transportation. Basically it is a 12 or 15 passenger van with like 30 or 40 people shoved in it. It is decorated with various stickers on the outside (such as rap singers, britney spears, mariah carey etc) and music is played on the inside. Today we rode in one for the first time. What fun!! It was jam packed with people and played very loud unedited gangster rap! What an adventure!
Another funny thing- one of the men we are with is named Willis so I was telling him about the show Different Strokes and how the catch phrase was "Whatch u talkin about Willis?" So he taught me how to say it in Swahili.........Una semanini Willis!! We also learned how to say other things that will not necessarily be useful so tomorrow it is back to the good stuff!!
Mungo akubariki!! (God bless you-okay that one is very useful)
