@Aki I once told a bunch of people a story about life in nairobi. Everybody was okay with the story until I mentioned a blackout that lasted a few hours. From there they all insist I was lying. to those guys out in the west the power blackouts we have here just do not register to them. Life there is different. We cook with Electricity, then the dish washer uses electricity to boil and scrub the dishes, then you got the scraps disposal unit which uses electricity, then you got the air conditioner which uses electricity, then there is the clothes washer and dryer which both use electricity. These are just the basics in almost every home in the city so when you have power blackouts your are basically helpless.

@Aki dude, you've got no luck....

 

@Steve, since you've been on both sides of the North Atlantic ocean, can you kindly tell these business opportunists looking to making money on the so called demands of urban life that it's not about such. Tell someone in a modern city that you can sell them a solar panel to subsidize their electricity usages, they will tell you to go jump off the nearest bridge.

 

Even Alicia Keys was inspired by NY. I posted this already but will re-post, this time with lyrics : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiWD9QWKGRw&feature=related

 

BTW, the power just went out again! So all plans for the day are thrown into disarray, so time to shut down all devices and preserve them until electricity is resored. I live very close to a commercial area, I can only imagine what those who operate their businesses in such an area must be going through.
