Restaurant review - K&A Coffee House in Nairobi (Central Business District)
Calling this a 'restaurant' review might be somewhat of a misnomer as K&A Coffee House is actually more of a Cafeteria than a restaurant. Nevertheless, this Kenyan working class cafeteria serves up fresh hot coffee and very inexpensive but good local food offerings from 7am to 5pm daily except on Sundays.

Hotel review - The Kenya Comfort Hotel in Nairobi
The Kenya Comfort hotel is anything but a place exuding "comfort." Built and also apparently furnished in the 1950's, it's done little to nothing to maintain, upgrade and/or modernize the facility. Simply put, it has all of the charm of a dated African prison.

Uganda's Red Pepper Newspaper reaches new lows...
Has Uganda finally embraced the gay life style or has the infamous and sleazy Red Pepper gossip rag reached new lows by taking pictures of scantily clad heterosexual girls just out having fun at the clubs in Kampala and labeling them as engaging in "sista love" in order to sell papers/ad space? We suspect the latter...
