Kenya has about the same area as France but only 4% is arable. The idea that the population will double is scary not because I don't like Kenyans but because I do, very much. Over the years, I have seen so much progress--most people wearing shoes instead of going barefoot (think of the injuries avoided), more homes with solid roofs, electricity, running water. But it's hard to keep up a standard of living let alone improve it when serving more and more people. <br />Taste of Francehttp://francetaste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-89103428373078076572019-01-30T09:58:21.761+01:002019-01-30T09:58:21.761+01:00Hari Om

Gail recommends their Dead Pony brew, to those who like a flavoursome but only moderately alcoholic beer.

The French were very funny and the prices crazy. Although the food and horrid house wine was all inclusive, I remember it cost $30 for a pack of cards and $10 for a bottle of soda at the local supermarket (about 5-10 times the current NZ prices).<br /><br />I had a great aunt that was a nun. A lovely lady but always insisted I wore a skirt. My dad used to make her go to tell the managers at the restaurant that she was taking the parish poor out for dinner when there was a large group of our family with her. She never quite understood how the buffet restaurant worked though and embarrassed me by getting each plate piled high with food rather than going up for several serves.Poppy Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271337805172036471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-25499449493131755632019-01-30T07:14:05.081+01:002019-01-30T07:14:05.081+01:00Angus can now answer a question most puzzling: How...Angus can now answer a question most puzzling: How do the nuns wear their hair under those headdresses? Cut short, braided, shaved, I've always rather wondered.<br />The projected population growth in Africa is going to make certain elements of the West very nervous, while others will look upon it as new markets.<br />I suspect that the dinner menu wasn't exciting, either.
