Okay, today I will try to make positive news from Africa. Let's forget about the murders in the paper, riots, clashes, billion Shilling graft cases, hassles around a new constitution. Think I know what it is. It happened on the way from to a nearby coffeeshop. Always at the bus stage Kikuyu ladies are flocking. Carrying huge bags with tomatoes, onions, corriander. They grow that in their gardens in their shambas, the gardens in the suburbs. They push the bags in the minibus, on the way to the city market. One of the ladies looks up and our eyes meet. The sun shines on her forehead, her mouth breaks open in a generous smile. Time holds a bit, traffic passes by slowly. Maybe that's the good news of today. Life in Africa is just too good to worry about.

That's me. Good morning!
Finally on my way to the Indonesian Embassy to collect the visa. In town now in Dagit Cyber Cafe, just behind Anniversary Towers.
