Success!
We now have meetings scheduled with Chinese academics in Nairobi!
Tomorrow we will meet with Sa Dequan, the director of the Confucius Institute at the University of Nairobi. We had some trouble getting through to him via email, but managed to chat with him on the phone. We are going to meet tomorrow in downtown Nairobi.
We also talked to Pang Hui this morning, the former Chinese director of the Confucius Institute at Kenyatta University, who said his car was broken and his internet down. He called us back about 10 minutes ago wanting to meet right now, but by the time we would reach where he was, he would be busy. So we are going to try to schedule a meeting tomorrow afternoon. He talked about getting a group of lecturers together and helping us find a Chinese lecturer to help us translate.
We will let you all know how it goes!
For the rest of the evening, we are cooking American food with the staff of our guesthouse to (belatedly) celebrate US Independence Day!
Tutanana!
