Last event with the Swedish Society

Yesterday was very interesting. We had to go to the Swedish school to do the May 1:st celebration, a trip that takes about 30 minutes when there is no traffic. Due to the long rains and several really bad accidents it took us almost two hours!
The roads are badly built in Nairobi and the rain creates both enormous potholes and heavy flooding. On top of that, all Kenyans use their cars when it's raining. We cruised around pot holes on flooded roads in extremely heavy traffic, and were sitting totally still for an hour. A really old, bad truck had crashed into two cars close to the school. It also managed to hit a wall and tear it down on the way. This happened in a place with a big hill upwards, followed by one downwards and often the engines in the car are to weak to even have the strength to go up the hill. I've heard of times when it simply gives up and starts sliding backwards down, crushing all the cars behind it. It is interesting, as a Swede, to reflect on how dangerous traffic can be here and people in Sweden who complains about that they use all our tax money to fix roads shouldn't!
Once there, I started grilling hot dogs and selling snacks and drinks. Of course it started raining heavily, but the guests were happy anyway. To get home again was another story, but the only thing I'm going to say about that is that the traffic didn't clear until around 11 PM.

This was my last time helping out the Swedish Society. In the future I intend to go to all the functions, just having fun and not work!
