Toti,here is my advice.

1. Dump those Kenyan friends. -- Do not feel obligated to be friends with people simply because they are Kenyan. Remember that you get lonely only when you are alone and thus if you feel lonely in the company of these "friends," their friendship isn't fulfilling your emotional needs. It sounds harsh but the only solution is to dump them and "hook up" with people whom you truly connect.

2. Be Brave -- Try everything at least twice. Even by yourself. Kenyans shy away from trying many activities by labelling them "jungu" or "not a kenyan thing to do." Don't let that dull your resolve.

3. Go Skiing.

Your happiness is in your own hands. Good luck.
