Arusha/Return to Nairobi

12/3/08: In the morning we checked out of the hotel and moved into a different one that was a lot nicer. The rooms were suites. They had a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a tub. Despite the nice room, the beds were hard as rocks. The internet was free so I spent a lot of time on it. 12/4/08: Today I had my Swahili oral exam. It wasn't too hard. Once I finished, I was done with my academic obligations for the semester. Sweet! 12/5/08: Today thirteen of us began our journey back to Nairobi. We rode in a bus, and took up most of the room inside of it. The ride took about 8 hours. It would have been faster, but we hit traffic on the way into Nairobi. The hotel that I had planned to stay in didn't work out, so I ended up staying with 4 other people in a different hotel. Apparently the hotel I had planned to stay at was in a pretty sketchy neighborhood, at least that's what my Swahili teacher said.In the hotel we ended up staying in, we shared a triple. 3 people slept in the beds, and two slept on the floor. We all went to bed pretty early because we had to get up at 5:00 to take a taxi to the airport to catch our flight to London.
