Morning Commute

Here are some incredible pictures that were sent to me by a client in Nairobi, Kenya. There is a small National Park for safaris just 4 miles from the city center of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in Kenya. It seems that a couple of male lions decided to go for a stroll and caused quite a traffic jam during the morning commute. Amazing stuff!

Getting My Jambo On!

Pretty much anyone that knows me knows that Jambo is by far my favorite word (it means Hello in swahili). Kenya is an amazing destination and part of the reason I love it so much is because I get to scream JAMBO at/to anyone and everyone I see.

My first adventure for 2013 took me to Kenya for a whirlwind tour around the country visiting over 20 hotels/resorts/safari lodges in 10 days, and then attending a 3 day conference in Nairobi.
This is the welcome we got at pretty much every camp/lodge we visited:

These are members of the Masai tribe - the most well-known tribe in Kenya. Mother Fuckers can jump!!!!

Despite my hectic schedule the trip was tons of fun and I had some really cool experiences. None of which was cooler than that last day of my journey. I had the opportunity to visit an anti-poaching camp in Tsavo National Park (SE Kenya) and do a 'patrol' with one of the KWS (Kenya Wildlife Services) Rangers. This specific camp only opened about 11 months ago and they've already found and removed over 600 snares from the African bush!!!

Following Kenya I was spoiled with about 2 weeks at home. Now I'm off to another swahili speaking country later this week - Tanzania. I'm incredibly excited to visit Tanzania, as I've only been there once before.

Of course there are plenty of stories from those adventures but the blog is starting new so they will remain untold (at least in this forum).

So on my first post in the 'new' era of DEDK I will leave you with just one image from my 2012 journeys; and one of the many reasons I'm going to hell - getting inappropriate at Angkor Wat (one of the oldest and most sacred Buddhist temples in the world) in Siem Reap, Cambodia:

Happy New Year!

New Year's Eve was rather low key compared to past years, but it was lots of fun. I was out in Hampton Bays with a bunch of high school friends - we enjoyed a nice Japanese (hibachi) dinner, followed by a house party.
By now, you all know how funny I think sirry Asians are, that's why I thought our menu (below) at the restaurant was hilarious!

The restaurant that we ate at also had a great way of delivering your sake:

Wishing everyone a happy & healthy 2012!!!
