Kericho
Located at 1936meters above sea level, UTKL's International Learning Center in Kericho, Kenya amazed me not just because its beautiful contours and chilling weather, but also its nice people. I must say that seeing the real things in front of me really changed my mind. Africa is a fantastic place, errrr...I must say Kenya (I haven't been to other places, not for now anyway). No wonder Angelina Jolie fell in love with this continent ^_^
Guess I'm such a lucky girl, to have the opportunity visiting a place I never thought of. Kericho is a small town in southwestern Kenya, hometown of Kenya's largest tea industry. So, wherever you cast your view, there will be tea estates. It's a wonderful view really...
Unfortunately I was only there for few days. So, I was unable to really explore Kericho's original food and culture. I was forced to be grateful being stuck in the learning centre with boring-non-spicy western food and some finance stuff hehehe....Even then, the last night's dinner was a good experience. Though the food's just okay, overall ambience, including the dance circling the fire in some traditional Masai cloth, was terrific. Other than that, the safari to Lake Nakuru was also good. There, I saw biggest flock of Flamingos living around the lake. It was too many of them, that if you see from a far, it seems that the lake was surrounded by pinkish shade (yeah...it's the flamingos). Awesome!!!! Love it so much!!
Hopefully I can go back there someday ... Have a real safari with Gatoso perhaps?! haha who knows...
