East. We lived in Nairobi. Arriving shortly after Mau Mau, and seeing the troubles through and beyond Independence. Later my parents continued onto Zambia, I returned home to continue my education.
In all we did approx 25 years in that part of the world, we witnessed much sadness, yet also much joy.
I have always said that once Africa gets under your skin, it is there for life. I will return some day, and take my family, to see an exceptional country. (preferably without the tourists!)
take care,
