Today when I taught parents entrepreneurship in the slum, I made a stupid mistake.
Folks, listen!!
We were talking about the characteristics of entrepreneurs. Someone said “God fearing.” At the first few seconds, I couldn’t catch what her meant. After a while, I realized I was in the place with a lot of Christians. As a Buddhist, I don’t have this kind of conception in my mind.
I just wrote “god fearing” on the blackboard, and one corrected me that “god” should be capitalized. I apologized right away. Well, you should be careful when u deal with people who have different religions from you. There are chances that you might offend them by languages.
Matatu
Just like I said before, matatu is the most popular vehicles in Kenya. According to one drive, there are more than 40,000 matatus. Matatu is much expensive than bus for its shorter transportation time) Any color will be fine as long as it has the yellow lines on the middle. ( I saw blue, purple, green, orange, black, white...colors)They play Kenyan music on the matatu, which is the moment I really enjoy a lot. Those matatus are so funky that I always keep my eyes on them when I am on matatu. Matatu drivers are very naughty because they drive very fast and sometimes ignore the passers-by. There are two staffs on a matatu. One is driver and another is collect man. Driver can choose collect man himself, usually his good friends so that they can cooperate well together!!
