Non-Commercial "cultural" cocktail at Nairobi

[Alex Gakuru]

Thanks Jorge,

Please allow me to steer off the 'security' discussion because I am
not qualified to engage on that subject. Also, my rudimentary
understanding of security is that it is a very personal thing,
everywhere in the world and I prefer to respect individual decisions
about it.

Your situation is understandable and, yes, got to earn a living for
the family. I hope the kids enjoyed http://www.no-evil.net/ clips I
referred you to? Isn't it funny how consumers face the same problems
all over the world?

Thanks for the 'remote celebration' with us. I'll drink to that:)

All the best,

Alex
