True story. We had just arrived huku Seattle, Wa and I had started going to school. On the first day the last lesson reached. I go into the classroom and I sit next to this guy. I say hi, he says hi and we start talking. It probably took us ten minutes to figure out we were both Kenyan. I was so shocked. What are the odds of two Kenyans sitting side by side in Wa. He figured out I was Kenyan because I kept on using the word 'ati'! I couldn't tell he was Kenyan sababu his accent had changed!
btw, I still haven't gotten over the use of small words like ati, hebu etc.
