Last Saturday was absolutely out of what you all have in mind in terms of a weekend. For some normal people, it was supposed to be a day where we hang out with friends & family, movies & shopping but for Kara Zor-El: travelling. That particular Saturday morning was the day Kara was preparing herself to travel from Capetown -> Johannesburg -> Nairobi Kenyatta: a business trip with Kal-El. Kara and Kal touched down at the Nairobi Kenyatta Airport around 5pm… after a long journey of almost 9 hours including transit at Joburg (Johannesburg). *tired*

At the immigration, there were only two counters: one says “Kenyan passports only” and the other one says “African American passports only”. There were only 2-3 people at the 1st counter while the second counter had a long queue. Now now, which counter should Kara & Kal go to? They are not Kenyan nor African American but Malaysians! I wonder where should other citizens go to? Funny rite? *confused* Without wanting to stuck in the long queue, they headed to the Kenyan counter to try their luck :p hehe.. (malaysians mah.. shortcut is a MUST!!) and walah~ they managed to skip the long queue after entertaining the officer with some stupid questions =) but the immigration officer was actually quite friendly!

While heading to the exit, Kara and Kal made a stop at a forex bureau to get some Kenyan Syilings (KES). The rate was 1USD = KES64 which was quite good compared to banks. Kara took out USD200 and walked up to the lady at the counter and the minute she said, “Hi! I would like to ch….” *Slam!!!* The lady immediately put the “Counter Closed” sign right in front of Kara! Kara was a lil’ pissed off and asked the lady when will the counter be opened again? The lady answered rudely, “in 10mins time” without even looking at Kara. Okayyyy, 10mins… watever~ @#$%^&*!~ and since Kara & Kal needed KES urgently, they waited “patiently” at a waiting area right in front of the bureau.

5mins passed by.. An angmoh guy walked up to the counter. Same question he asked and the lady answered “10mins”! Another 10mins passed by.. Counter was still closed. Another angmoh lady walked up to the counter. Same question asked and same answer given. Deep down inside, Kara could feel the flame of WTF burning!! Another @#$%^&*!~ it seems.

Being a bad tempered girl, Kara wanted to fully utilize her super bazooka+grenade power but often times, she was told to be a good girl esp when she’s out of Msia and that holds her back.. 5mins later, the counter finally got back to business. Kara and Kal both bought some KES, got themselves a SafariCom sim card starter pack each at a booth nearby, quickly meet up with their driver and checked-in at The Sarova Stanleys Hotel right in the city center.

It was a tiring day for both Kara and Kal. What a “good start” in Nairobi eh? Something for Kara and Kal to ponder: How long is 10mins? Is 10mins really = 10mins or what? *clueless* What say you?
