Sorry we did not have internet to
upload this entry, but we are now post-safari and back to the grind.
More updates to come from Mombasa.
July 24, 2012
We just finished our time in Kisumu and
got a first hand experience driving on a Chinese road construction
project! The road from Nakuru to Kisumu is being built by at least
three different Chinese firms and during our trip, we bounced along
on it for several hours. Though the experience was less than
pleasant, we did discover the actual locations of a few Chinese firms
and added an additional one we did not know about to our list.
Overall a hard way to achieve success!
While in Kisumu we rode bicycles around
the entire city. We found the branch offices of Lifan Motors and
Foton East Africa, both of which we already interviewed in Nairobi.
We also discovered that Sinohydro is working on a huge flyover road
project in Kisumu, which is to be completed next year. Unfortunately
we were not able to meet with anyone from Sinohydro while in Kisumu,
but it was good to see their site and add another project to the
list.
We are going to be spending a few days
on Safari in Tanzania and will not have internet access. Our next
update will be from Mombasa, where we will be looking at the ports
and interviewing some of the companies' coastal affiliates.
Thanks for following our adventures!
Kyla and Mollie
