The Kenyans are proud of their heritage and their nation's accomplishments.
The Customs
Each ethnic group uses a different type of greeting, but a handshake is usually common. (Prepare for laughs) They use a tss-tss sound when fealing displeasured and pointing an index finger is considered innapropriate. Visiting with family and friends is a common every day activity because the bonds between familys are very tight.
The Lifestyles
The average Kenyan family is typically very large with up to 12 roommates! And you wonder why Africa is so crowded? Dating starts at about the age of 18 in cities. And their kids play recreational sports like soccer and eat goat for a healthy balanced breakfast!
