No, not because it's summer. I finished school on 5 November, and my lectures at university only start on 4 February. So that's almost exactly 3 months of holiday. Was fun for the first 2 months...

And no I'm not working.

Well while some parts of Africa are quite dangerous and uncivilised, I don't know of anything happening in Kenya. (Although I haven't been watching news lately.)

Why do you ask?

His question probably has to do do with that seven year old boy, whom looked like a girl, that climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Wow I just looked that up. That's quite something. Hope he makes it to the top.

Why do you say "climbed" ? It looks like it still has to happen. (The article is dated as 15 January 2008)

Oh, I guess the kid didn't do it yet... probably because he looks like a girl.

No that was not the reason. There is a lot of violence right now in Kenya because of the elections. And some people I know are going there.

Well I'm not sure of the situation. I would advise staying out of most African countries anyway. Africa is no joke. It's really a dark continent in places like Rwanda and the DRC. Violence is everywhere here.

Kenya is good at marathon running, but Ethiopia is the ultimate nation in the event. But in 2004 Athens games Kenya, which was supposed to win, lost, because the Athens marathon is by far the most steepest and difficult of all marathons, thus even the Kenyan was not prepared for its brutality.
