This evening, after a long day of class and interning, a group of seven of us decided to go out for Chinese food. Despite having claimed that he knew where everything in the city was, Francis, our Taxi driver, didn’t know where the place we had chosen was. Since we didn’t have Internet to figure it out, we asked him for his recommendation. We ended up at a really fancy place called Taste of China. The first thing we noticed after receiving the menu that this was not the American Chinese we were used to, but rather Chinese Chinese food. We were told of every menu item (which were all very expensive) and the history of each dish as well as the exciting spices in each one. Our favorites were the bull penis and the one that made women’s faces shiner and boobs bigger. We all burst out laughing but she quickly stated forcefully that we should not laugh - it was scientifically proven! After a lot of struggles we decided to share a few things among us, which all turned out to be pretty good.
We were all still a little hungry after dinner so we decided to head over to this cake place nearby, where we all ordered slices of these crazy fancy looking cakes. Unfortunately they weren’t quite as good as they looked but the place was really cute so it was definitely worth it.
Back at our apartments a different group of nine of us decided to go out and try one of the local bars/clubs called Galileo’s. The place was super nice and it ended up being one of the most fun nights at a club I’ve ever had. We got to know a guy from USIU over drinks and make friends with a bunch of Kenyan girls on the dance floor. It was also a great time to get to hang out with each other. We ended up leaving relatively early since we had an early morning the next day for our excursion but overall it was a great night!
