VallesFamily > It always amazes me that there are so many people making this furniture in the slums, who's buying it?

VallesFamily > Shoes, shoes, shoes! These are all second hand shoes that they clean up and display to sell. It's amazingly organized, and they act just like a shoe store when you are there, helping you put them on etc. funny!

VallesFamily > My question about why so many Kenyans dress like us was answered when Kennedy took me to this market. All of these clothes are shipped in from the western world. These vendors buy them in big bundles, wash, iron and display them. You can literally buy western clothes cheaper than the traditional Kenyan clothes.

VallesFamily > I find it interesting that most people sell them by type. Like one person sells jackets, another jeans etc. The market is huge and you could easily get lost there.

VallesFamily > Here's the food court which is actually the size of a block surrounded by vendors selling different types of food.
