This week I was feeling rather unwell and the people in the college advised I go for a malaria test. Even the Lonely Planet advised that any flu like symptoms should be assumed to malaria. I was reluctant at first (i didnt want to have blood taken from anywhere here) but after nearly passing out decided it was best to go. So the test showed positive (but very weak) and I was given a course of drugs to take (8 in on day PLUS 6 panadol, my poor liver!). How strange after hearing about Cheryl Cole and her malarial incident!
It was a busy week in Nakuru and for Baraka as it was the agricultural show. Agriculture is very important here in Kenya and these shows are hosted all over the country at different times (I am definitely starting to turn into a farmer ;) Tai, I will be able to advise you on your "garden"). It ran over 5 days and there were stalls, music, food, dancing, food, shows and food. It was quite enjoyable! I spent the whole day Saturday there, from 8am to 5pm. My word it was LONG and very very hot there but time went fast surprisingly as there was alot to do and see (and eat!). 
The president was there on Friday as well!<-- here I am enjoying some much needed sparkling fruit drink in the intense heat :)
<-- this is the local peanut butter machine! it looks so complex. And i have been told by the Kenyans in a few stores that I "bargain harder than any Kenyan!" which I am very proud of :) even the people here are surprised when I tell them how much I have paid for things!
When we got back that night we had a party with the students which was nice, they know how to move!! This was going on while the Germans beat the Uruguayians.. good times!
