[@irungugithae]

I am so confused and proud at the same time...like yoooh, 'Mambo fam?'... That made me so happy, plus how you articulate yourself using English, kidogo slang(sheng)... That is such a typical Kenyan way to communicate, we rarely know what the next word will fall under, English, Swahili or sheng.. You guys are really adapting fully, I love that.

[@Dolledupandthangs]

Asante for your kind words dada sounds like how I’m on the right I talk Like this everyday!

Asante kaka 😊 for the advice I do go to kangaware market as much as possible for veggies and fruits. Store for meats and I shop local as much as possible! It’s definitely a new thing for me since moving here however very much apart of the norm day to day 😊💪🏾🇰🇪 asante sana for your support kaka 🙏🏾

Hey sis! There is a think twice shop in Kenya and it basically sells second hand clothes... there is one un ngara which you can visit and make a video about it, you wouldn't have to bargain because there are tags on the clothes.... do some research about it or any other of the think twice in Nairobi and film for us the experience.

Cars are quite complicated to buy if second hand. Best go to an official dealer of a manufacturer you know. Downside is the price and may be customized for local conditions. If second hand, then use someone that you know well who has lived long in Nairobi to guide you. Toyota is quite good with both new and used, but maintenance is easiest to have in Kenya.

[@Dolledupandthangs]

I screenshot this 😂 I appreciate your response soo much! Asante Martino 💪🏾🇰🇪🙏🏾

[@martino6205]

@@Dolledupandthangs If not a brand new car from the dealership, you need to be very cautious. Get people you trust and have bought before,to guide you and have a good mechanic to test everything before buying.

The comment about the stores having second hand clothes is not true. Especially in high end malls. So you are safe with regards to that. Love that you enjoy my country.

Sawa sawa asante kaka for the reassurance I appreciate your support! I feel very welcomed asante 🙏🏾🇰🇪

[@alexchui3511]

I just like how you interject with Kiswahili words for emphasis when you do your storytelling, quite impressive. If you really put your mind to it, you can learn Kiswahili very quickly. It is a phonetic language and doesn't have a large vocabulary like English. The only issue with Kenya or more specifically Nairobi is that "sheng" which is our slang or patois is used alongside Kiswahili. Outside of Nairobi not so much and definitely not in Mombasa. So you should pick up slang words that are used often even as you learn Kiswahili.

[@StevoGitz]

If she picks up Nairobi swahili and ends up speaking fluently she'll feel like other sawahili and especially for tz and mombasa sounding funny lol 😅 but Kanairo swahili its the best.... i love it 🫶🏿😂

Second hand clothes are thrifts, maybe not just as glamorous in Ke Lc Wakiki and Mr Price are overpriced. There's a similar Kenyan store though; Alladin, world of Brands. I don't know if they're in Junction mall, but they're in TRM and 2 Rivers. Their Clothes might not look as great, but hey, Buy Kenya, Build Kenya! Hehe.

[@Dolledupandthangs]

Asante for this great information 🤗 any store recommendations is greatly appreciated! I’ll check them out when I tour those mall as well! Excited 😆 🙏🏾 and Ndio some clothes in those stores are overpriced! 👀😯

[@alexchui3511]

Actually Alladin in TRM stock clothes that are exported to the US and the left overs are sold in Kenya. I've visited the store a few times in TRM mall since it is in my neighboudhood and the prices are very affordable. The only issue is that it is a small store and doesn't have a lot of variety.

[@thedante7722]

@@alexchui3511 Yes. But it's not similar to a Mr Price/Lc Waikiki design/vibe. I will say they're good quality and last long. You should visit the Two Rivers one, I find their selection to be of a wider variety and the store isn't as small.

[@lonelion8098]

In Kenya bargaining in only done in low income places it is very rare to bargain in high income places such as malls people just buy because most of the clothes and items are brand new and genuine products leave the bargaining to low income settings i.e. just check where you purchase from if it looks classy or bougie please don't bargain this is frowned upon but if the place is like the market its fine. if you don't like the price you look for another better priced shop this is the culture in bougie settings.

[@Dolledupandthangs]

Asante for this information rafiki! I definitely dnt bargain in malls stores hapana however if I’m at a market I have no choice! Sometimes I have the energy for it! 😆 this information Is great for newcomers asante!

[@lonelion8098]

@@Dolledupandthangs Cool I thought I heard bargaining at the mall, Am Kenyan and I hate bargaining let me share my bargaining hack if I have to bargain I always have a set price in mind if they refuse I walk and most times they call me back. but I mostly buy my stuff where there's no bargaining nice vlog asante

Who bargains is malls, supermarkets etc? There are price tags. The only place you bargain is at the markets, individual stores etc.
