New Beginning in Nairobi

This is gonna be the stupidest blog entry in this blog.

So I woke up and felt like I need a change in my life. The win yesterday wasn't enough to make me feel better. So I walk to the office today, said hi to Joel as I pass by and he yelled that I needed to smile. I get to the office and you know, whatever. So long story short, I took a vote and decided to get a hair cut (and highlights but that's not important).

So I went to Sarit Centre to get my hair done and good god the salon here is definitely a whole new experience. They are a bit pricey but what made a bit uncomfortable is.. everybody is too... servant-y. When I get to the desk, the receptionist was a bit too polite and she won't stare in my eyes. The whole process from me waiting to get my hair washed to the actual color and hair cut was too quiet. No one was talking to me, they were too polite and won't stare in my eyes, they were also a bit to accommodating (ok so I bursted out crying in the salon, a whole nother story).

I eavesdrop on people's conversation and observe a lot of things. I feel that the employees act that way because most of the clients in the salon treat them like a servant. Like these hair stylists and manicurists are way below them. That's sad. But anyway, I got a hair cut and hair coloring and surprisingly, not only my head feels lighter but also my heart. It feels like my stress is gone with all those hairs.

So here's to new beginning in a new city. There will always be good time and bad times in Nairobi but I'll try to be positive about it.

Hapa ni kuwa na mwanzo mpya!
