RE: Nairobi 2018 data sheet
My experience with Nairobi is mixed, but I will come back.
To start with cons:
# it is not for the faint of heart. You will see poverty, crime if you're careless. Some people will stop you begging for money or trying to con you. You will not be able to walk after dark if you want to stay safe.
# hotels are expensive and not great (apart from safari lodges)
# girls may demand money that way or another
# poor infrastructure, awful traffic jams and pollution
# there is a potential for terrorist attacks
Pros are considerable, too, though:
# parks and natural attractions are in the city itself. Only to mention Karura Forest where you can unwind, bike, game girls, observe monkeys, all in a safe environment. There is also a proper national park in the city where you can drive with Uber haha
# decent shopping malls are within easy reach
# girls are all happy to meet you and open for anything
Nairobi is still very much an uncharted territory in terms of foreign tourism (apart from maybe safaris, Nyali Beach and Diani Beach). Go if you are a seasoned guy, don't go if you have not travelled extensively elsewhere before.

i got two question
1) when you delete tinder and reopen it with new facebook.
do you pay every time to tinder plus?
i don't get it, i have read the tinder threads many times
i understand that when u open new tinder you get newbie boost. but it means u need to buy tinder subscription every time aswell??
2) do u know that if you change change location
while using the tinder plus(not while spoofing) does it gives u boost aswell?
Sorry man just seen this.
You just delete it. Set up the account again. Check in 1 hour. Hit the restore purchade button to reactivate your account.
You can only do this a limited number of times, 20 times or so... not sure. Cancel the tinder subscription and then when the 30 day expires, buy a new one and it should work again.

Feel free to PM if you want further advice.
Make sure to take uber everywhere at night no matter how close. I got arrested on my first trip and it wasn't nice...
Day time is fine. Usual street smarts apply.
I've noticed that I've laid higher quality chicks if I had a back story e.g business investor as opposed to tourist. Some girls like to know if you'll come back before getting into bed with you.
Download taxify. They are currently offering 40 percent off for first timers for a few days. It works just as well as uber. Also you can order two taxis separately with each app should you need to.
Get a money bag as well and don't carry anything more than 5000 ish day to day. Most places in westlands take card so you should be fine.
There's loads of stuff to do... use the girls to help you and show you around. The girls will show you the real side to Nairobi as they are locals. Also they can help with communication in swahili which is useful. You will love it.. Make sure to feedback to the forum

At least 21 killed as Kenya hotel siege is declared over
Quote:Nairobi, Kenya (CNN)Men armed with guns and explosives burst into a hotel complex in Nairobi, killing at least 21 people in an attack that lasted hours and ended Wednesday morning.
An American and a Briton were among the people killed when armed militants targeted the DusitD2 compound Tuesday, an upmarket cluster of shops and hotel facilities in the Kenyan capital.
"The security operation at Dusit complex is over, and all the terrorists eliminated," President Uhuru Kenyatta told reporters without giving details. He called the attackers terrorists.
More than 700 people were safely evacuated during the attack, he said.
Surveillance footage shows the moment one of the attackers self-detonated a suicide vest in the foyer of the hotel, leaving behind billowing smoke as people fled. Before the explosion, another man walked by, stared at the attacker and kept walking.
Shortly before Kenyatta declared the attack over, gunshots and explosions could still be heard at the scene.
Authorities recovered six more bodies from the scene late Wednesday, according to Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett. That brought the death toll to 21.
Sixteen Kenyans, one Briton, one American and three unidentified people of African origin are among the dead, he said. Twenty-eight others have been hospitalized.
Jason Spindler, an American who survived the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, was among those killed in the attack. He was co-founder and managing director of I-DEV International, a firm advising on business strategy for emerging markets.
A British man is also among the dead, the UK high commissioner to Kenya said. Development organization Gatsby Africa identified him as Luke Potter, head of its forestry and tea portfolio.

I hope everyone here is safe.
Yeah the Brits are balls deep in Nairobi. Both in this incident and at the Westgate Mall attack in 2014 you could see armed SAS / Ex-SAS dudes killing terrorists and extracting people.

I was planning to go there in February... that shitty attack really made me reconsider, too.
Might as well go anyway cause shit like this can happen anywhere. I'm not planning to stay in a fancy hotel near any Americans anyway
I was thinking to make a trip to Mombasa as well (flights between Nairobi and Mombasa seem to be really cheap) since I want to see a beach fleeing from the European winter. Any comments/hints on that one?
In the other Nairobi sheet ( /thread-49490...t=mombassa) in the last post, someone pointed out that he was rather disappointed but still it's almost 900k+ ppl so there's got to be some talent around?!

Checked Westlands but airbnb is already pretty much sold out. I'll see what I can still get though.
Any advice on screening out pros on tinder? The app is exploding, it's almost unreal.
Really no apartments in westlands? There's always loads of apartments that are empty in westlands. In the search bar type Mpaka Road as that is right in the heart of Westlands and 2 min walk from clubs such as brew bistro which is popular.
CBD is full traffic on an insane level both cars and people. Youll bump into people constantly and theres loads of street sellers annoying you, You'll hate it. The pollution is also too much. Also, logistics are poor in CBD as all the entertainment is in Westlands. I would only take CBD area as a last resort.
A good apartment will cost you 50 to 70 dollars a night for 1 or 2 bed. On my first visit I stayed in one West park apartments on Mpaka road. It was overkill for my needs as it had 3 bedrooms, 3 baths and I was solo haha. It did have a wicked pool, gym and lounge that the girls loved though. Cost about 110 usd a night.
The second apartment I got cost 50 usd a night and came with a gym and a rooftop lounge (Nothing special) however, I was at the heart of Westlands which was very helpful with everything logistics wise.
Message me if you need any help.
