Excellent job as always. Was focusing on your background while driving, and wondered to myself, when will this vibanda phenomenon come to an end?

Karen Estate lies seventeen kilometers west of the city centre and is one of a few Nairobi suburbs where tall jacarandas loom large, straddling long driveways onto huge mansions with plush gardens. It hosts diplomats, powerful business people, the upper strata of Kenya’s political class, expatriates, and much of Kenya’s privileged white, Asian, and Black populations.

I am not sure how I ended up here, perhaps it was home beckoning me. You see I was born and raised in Karen until the age of 12, when I had to leave abruptly and go make a home elsewhere. That was 50 years ago. I have not had the opportunity to go back. Watching this video, Karen has changed tremendously. The small village feel is gone, with so much over growth and back to back housing. Nothing stays the same as time goes by. But I wish every day that I hadn't been made to leave my life in Kenya. Yes, despite living in the west, my heart still considers Kenya to be my country. As they say, the hearts wants what it wants. Thank you for the video.
