entry number two i think, from arusha tanzania

sorry there are no pictures yet, i have no had the chance to upload anything yet. So i drove to sfo, flew to montreal, waited for a few hours, flew to london. walked a long long way to the undergound and that station wasnt working so i had to go to a different one. Oh, before that, my luggage was styill in montreal because they did not tag it properly. So in london i took the underground from thje airport. I had to transfer, but the station i was transferring at had a problem, so i had to take the bus, and the bus dropped me off at a different spot than the subway was supposed to. So i had to spenbt like 1/2 hour walking around looking for my hostel. I found it and it was actually pretty nice, for 12 dollars a night. They had breakfast. I stopped there and then i walked around. I saw the royal parks and i fell asleep in one of them. But whenever i nap i wake up feeling groggy and that was really not good. So after seeing some things there for 2 days i went to the airport to fly to nairobi. I got there so early once i got through security and everything i still had to wait for 3 hours. I was nervous because i had to pick up my luggage and i always just get nervous with security things. So I flew to doha, qatar. We had to get off and take a bus and standing outside for 30 seconds was close to the hottest 30 seconds of my life. I thought i might be late for that one but there was plenty of time. But the bus was not going towards the airport so i thought i got on the wrong bus or soimething, but then it turned and everything was fine. So then i took another flight to nairobi. I was a in a big hurry because the flight got in at 1:10 and the bus i needed was supposed to leave at 2 something, so i was very nervous, but i got my visa and everything was just fine. The road is crazy, Driving seems extremely dangerous and people seem to feel that they dont have to look out for other cars or pedestrians. Cars just drive towards each other and eventually they vere off a little, its like playing chicken every few minutes. I learned this on my bus ride to arusha tanzania. it was about 6 hours and we had to stop at the tanzania to get visas. I had to pee really bad for two hours. I eventually made it, alkthough that last 2 hurs or so were very dark and dusty and bumpy or slow, there are many very bumpy dirt roads on the way, and i was dozing off all the while. So i made it and someone from the hostel picked me up and saw my cousin jenna. Today, thursday, we walked around and did some haggling/shopping. People like to hastle you and it takes a lot to say no, haha. So now we are at an internet cafe. And thats whats goinon. I have to pay for this internet, so i am not saying as much as i could and I am sure that whoever is reading this can only read so much. Sorry if any of this is unintielligable, I did not have time to proofread it. Thank you everyone.
