After eating, they asked Yunluo to take photos for them and asked Yunluo if they could print them out. Yunluo told them apologetically that she would leave tomorrow and would not have time to go to Ukongda's printing shop. They looked at the photos reluctantly. Yunluo felt really embarrassed when she thought about it now.
Another sister asked Yunluo to go to her house to teach her Chinese Kung Fu, but Yunluo just practiced Tai Chi a few times. Do you really think Yunluo is a master, friend?
There was another one. The day after the clouds fell, I wandered around on the street, looked at hotels, and drank a Coke.
A woman wearing a busty outfit saw Yunluo parked there and came up to pull Yunluo, saying to her, "Yunluo wants to swim with you. Let's go to your hotel."
Yunluo was surprised that the prostitute came out to pick up customers in such a hot day, and quickly said, "No, thank you."
She actually said angrily: "I called you, why did you stop?"
"Sister, Yunluo is just looking at the brand."
I wonder if you have any business today. Yunluo left quickly.
Back to Diani, just 10 minutes walk across the road is the local village, renting a house for 50 dollars a month, back on this side of the road, it's almost 50 dollars a day.
But the locals were still optimistic. They had a perfect white sand beach and nice sea water. After dinner, the locals asked Yunluo to watch their game tomorrow night. Unfortunately, Yunluo had no interest in staying in a place full of beach boys. Two days was enough.
I took a motorcycle to Ukongda. The driver was really kind and sent me to my friend's house. He didn't leave until my friend picked me up. I only paid 50 shillings. In fact, working people just want to earn money to make a living. Not for anything else, just for life.
A friend picked up Yunluo. Yunluo asked: "Why are you here?"
"I had a fight with my mom, so I came to hide at my boyfriend's house for a few days"
After that, Yun Luoliang talked about her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is very good. He can earn 6,000 RMB in Kenya, which is definitely a high salary.
His boyfriend really doesn't like couchsurfing and often scolds her for it. Maybe he's afraid she'll run away. Yunluo wouldn't be willing to have strange foreign men living in his girlfriend's house. His boyfriend actually has a laptop and an LCD TV at home, which is really nice.
We chatted for a while and went home together. Seeing my friend's mother was like seeing a family member. We had a meal of beef with potatoes and matok (mashed potatoes with beans) in the evening. My friend's mother made this dish the best. I was so full. We were leaving the next day. In the evening, my friend's mother asked her younger brother to take Yunluo to walk around the town.
The next day at 6 o'clock in the evening, my friend's mother sent another brother to take Yunluo to the bus station. Because of concerns about safety in Nairobi, Yunluo bought a ticket for the 10 o'clock departure so that he could arrive at 7 o'clock in the morning.
After waiting for more than 3 hours, the ticket seller kept talking nonsense, saying things like he would marry Yunluo's friend to you, or he would take you to find Miss Kenya. What the hell was all that nonsense.
I slept on the bus. The most tragic thing is that we arrived at 5:00 in the morning. I called my friend at the place where I got off the bus and arranged to meet him at the train station. Yunluo walked to the train station and waited for 2 hours. The traffic in Nairobi is absolutely congested.
I met a friend I hadn't seen for 2 weeks. My friend and I told Yunluo that you are finally back. Let's call a colleague and go to Masai Mara on Friday. Yunluo can't wait.
They made it to Friday. Let's go. They had never ridden a local minibus before. Yunluo and his brother bought narok first, and then took a particularly wild bus to Talek Village. To be honest, Yunluo said that this bus was really too wild. It was filled with things and people, like selling piglets. Fortunately, the Kenyan guys were better at riding a bus than the Burmese guys, so no one vomited. Yunluo was covered in dirt when he got off the bus.
When we got to the village, we found a small hotel to stay in. There was no light, but the other one they stayed in had light. Bathing was the same, just take a basin to collect water and wipe your body. 300 shillings a day, can't ask for too much...
The second thing was to find a driver. Yunluo came to Talek because he didn't want to join the safari tour. Finally, he found a driver whose name he forgot, but he seemed very smart. Yunluo told him that he had no money to buy tickets.
The ticket was 80 US dollars per person, which Yunluo really couldn't afford. He refused to agree, and Yunluo said forget it, why don't we join a safari group, but at 9 pm he told Yunluo that it was okay, and we would leave at 6 am the next day. The whole day charter car cost 9,000 shillings, which is about 600 RMB.
Yunluo felt that there was something fishy going on with this grandson, so he told Yunluo and his two friends not to bring too much money, only 2,000 shillings each, and not to bring passports.
The next morning, the driver was named Yunluo. We filled up the car with gas, took a small road and entered the park. We watched the sunrise and the Masai Mara savannah was all yellow... Yunluo really thought that Masai Mara was nothing special, but it was the first time that Yunluo saw wild lions and the wildebeests left over by the lions.
We saw almost all of them, including wildebeest, zebra, antelope, buffalo, hippopotamus, elephants and lions. Unfortunately, maybe Yunluo didn't pay enough for the fare, so Y didn't take Yunluo to find the giraffe.
The zebra's butt looks very similar to the black lady's butt, so big and so perky, hahaha.
I was so nauseous after watching the wildebeests. But it is definitely better than the zoo.
A few hippos hid in the river to escape the heat, and from time to time you could see a few hunting dogs, little foxes and antelopes.
I came here to watch the animal migration. Masai Mara is really a very small park, much smaller than the Serengeti in Tanzania. Yunluo wondered if the Kenyan government had given money to the Chinese media, so that everyone only knew about Kenya and not Tanzania...
The driver took everyone to the Mara River. Across the river was Tanzania. We saw a bunch of zebras and wildebeests waiting to cross the river. They were quite smart and avoided the crossing point with crocodiles. The lead zebra went over to test the water and barked for a long time, then led a group of zebras across. They actually strolled over, which was too crazy. There were not many of them. Yunluo was helpless. It was just like this.
After the driver saw what was going on, he told everyone to go to the Maasai Village now, even though it was only a little after 10 o'clock. Yunluo said no, and Yunluo found a shade under a tree to have lunch, which was actually just some broken bread.
Yunluo had to wait for a larger one, so he came here again after lunch. The driver felt very hot and became impatient. Yunluo said, "Grandson Yunluo is the one who pays, okay? We agreed that it would be 9,000 a day, and everyone said we would wait until 2:30, and if they still couldn't cross the river, then forget it and go back. But at this time, they saw wildebeests gathering.
When choosing a crossing point, they didn't choose a place with crocodiles, and suddenly they all ran towards another crossing point. Yunluo couldn't count the number of crocodiles, because there were too many of them. The dirt brought by their running was like a billowing smoke. The river crossing could only allow two ends to enter the water at the same time. They were restless and shouting.
They urged the person in front of them to get down the river faster, but there was no stampede. At the same time, crossing the river was quite impressive. They were 100% lucky. There were no crocodiles, only themselves. Why were they running?!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The migration scene is quite spectacular, but it’s not that bad after you actually see it.
After the show, we drove to the Maasai village. To put it bluntly, it was a self-funded spot. The Maasai jumped for you twice and you paid. Yunluo, the driver and the village chief said that Yunluo had no money, so they waited for Yunluo's friends outside. They spent 1,000 shillings and only stayed for about 20 minutes. When supporting the society.
Well, the fun begins. We come out of the village, which is actually very close to Talek. Yunluo feels that something might go wrong on the way back. Sure enough, we meet a ticket inspector. He talks to the driver and Yunluo sees their eye contact.
He asked everyone if they had tickets. Yunluo said no. Yunluo asked him to show his ID. He said let's go to the main gate. Shit. It was exactly like that. Let's go. The driver took everyone there and stood there, saying that Yunluo was causing trouble for him. Yunluo thought to himself, why are you pretending to be a grandson?
The ticket seller at the door said that you must pay an additional 80 US dollars per person, Yunluo said that she didn't have that much money, and she hadn't paid for the bus fare yet. He asked Yunluo to give him her passport, but Yunluo said she didn't bring it with her.
He said Yunluo called your embassy. Yunluo said you called, many Kenyans are working illegally in China, and the Chinese government will give them free tickets back to Kenya if they are caught. Yunluo thought the Kenyan government would do the same to the Chinese, and it happened that Yunluo had no money to buy a ticket back home.
But it was embarrassing not to give a penny, so the three of us took 5,000 shillings. Yunluo told them that it was only 5,000 shillings in my hand, and if you are willing to take it, you can take it. If you don’t want to, Yunluo can’t do anything about it. Anyway, that’s all, Yunluo doesn’t care whether you want to eat, drink afternoon tea, or drink. If you don’t want to take it, forget it. After hesitating for a while, the brothers still took it.
Yunluo doesn't recommend this, it's really embarrassing. Yunluo is really short of money.
The driver brought everyone back and asked Yunluo to pay him an extra 1,000 shillings. What was he talking about as lunch money?
"The bread that everyone eats, Yunluo gave it to you, you don't want it, don't think about it, Yunluo didn't even watch the sunset, you know what happened with the tickets in the end." Yunluo said indifferently.
Sent away by Y. Sleep until 3 o'clock, take a bus back to Narok, two buddies go back to Nairobi to work, Yunluo goes to Kisumu by himself, ready to go to Uganda.
In fact, Yunluo later learned that there are many national parks in Africa, and Masai Mara may be the smallest one among them, but Kenya’s tourism promotion is good.
Chinese people only know about Masai Mara. The price is the most expensive, one day safari costs about 150 US dollars, while the price in neighboring Tanzania can be reduced to 100 US dollars a day.
Namibia's Etosha, Uganda's Elizabeth Park and Zambia's South Juangua are actually comparable to Kenya's. Of course, the special feature is the animal migration, which is only available from June to September, so it depends on your luck. But it's not as spectacular as you might think. (To be continued...)
