The young man was excessively polite, which is rare
in Kenya. He was a medical student soon to study in Germany. Was he taking up
my time? No? And had I also recently finished my studies? Well, then we were
practically colleagues. Welcome to Africa! It was a great honor for him to
speak with me. Could he invite me for a drink?
I concluded that he was probably the son of wealthy
parents, not often in Nairobi, and thus didn’t see many white people. Well, I
could spare some time—maybe he’d have something interesting to say.
