Safari is a Swahili expression meaning “Trip”. Although this word was formerly used to describe the expeditions that were carried out in African countries in order to hunt large exotic animals like elephants, giraffes, lions, buffaloes, rhinos, etc. Today this word is used to describe the “hunt” photo of these animals in the different parks and nature reserves that exist in African countries.

One place for tourists to see live large animals is Kenya. Thanks to its privileged location has a large number of parks and nature reserves that allow visitors to see elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, zebras, gazelles, antelopes, flamingos, and an incredible number of animals released only seen in the zoo.

Kenya safaris are done in two ways: A very cheap tents and furgonetillas of 8 people and a very expensive: in lodges (5-star accommodation amid the parks) with large SUVs. Some cost about $ 60 a day and the other about ten times more.

One of the Kenyan TV shows attracted more viewers gathered in front of the boob in that country is “This is not fair,” a program broadcast in Swahili on Wednesday afternoon. Inma, during his trip to Kenya had the opportunity to see some peculiar episodes of the program, the Black and white TV with the “house” where he was “staying”.

The program in question is a series of educational, teaching good manners to viewers in different social situations, where you can find an inhabitant of the country. The issue that I was commenting Inma was entitled “How to behave in the library” (a Inma it translated).

For the laughs we listened as he told me, it seems that is a pretty funny seen by a Westerner. The chapter of the week, starring a man who entered a library, where four people were concentrated in a very heady in reading their books. Upon entering the room, begins to sing (all provided in Swahili), then the camera focuses on the readers, who devolved by the chants of the new visitor, looking with his face twisted and tut the scandalizer.

As you can imagine, the staging of the program is a waste of resources, and at that time the announcer shouts “This is not fair,” followed by a repetition of the same phrase for a children’s choir: “This is not fair “” This is not fair “and explained to the visitor who sings, the because of his wrongdoing.

The program continues throughout their duration to the same scene starring cleaning ladies, policemen, etc.. Trying to understand the Kenyan population, as people should behave in a library.
