  • Girl got back...Check out that back...I feel like I can fly.. It made me want to walk backwards so that everyone could get a good look :-) :-) Some basic lessons on Japanese dressing 1:The general term for Japanese clothing is "Kimono" which means "object that is worn" 2:What I am wearing is referred to as a "Yukata" as it is made of cotton fabric and it is worn for informal settings. 3:The outfit comprises of a robe like outfit, that is then tied an "Obi", which is the sash around my waist. Then there is this beautiful, beautiful bow to complete and accentuate the look. 4: To complete the look, are these traditional shoes called "Zori" though I wasn't able to determine the right from the left So grateful to have the best stylist, to help me out with my dressing For more, click link on bio: #japanmeetskenya #wangechigitahitravels #Japaneseculturalfestival #kimono #culture #lifestyleblogger #travelblogger #kenyantravelblogger #internationaltravelblogger #eastafricantravelblogger

  • Blankets and Wine was made even more awesome with the great company and friends met and made 1: @janetgetsdigital to always having fun times, smiles and happiness..Family that is also friend 2: I met @nazizihirji This lady is all sorts of awesome. She was a member of Necessary Noise, one of the coolest groups ever and now doing and holding her own. She led the female anthem Manzi wa Nairobi and other songs. Some of her epic lines like "Mama, mama, nataka kuwa rapper" motivated girls and made them feel fierce, untouchable and able to do anything they put their minds to. It was awesome, awesome to meet her.. 3: @wmimz @njoki123 Excitement when I met friends on ground, and the smiles show both how happy we were to see each other as well as how much fun everyone had had. 4: Thank You Blankets and Wine @ blanketsandwine
  • When I tell people both local and international that Kenyan music and musicians are a force to reckon with...This is part of what I am talking about. Sample some of what I enjoyed last weekend.. 1: @realshinski Thank You for sharing your skill, your art, your music, your passion, your performace. This guy did not compromise on quality and he performed from the heart, yet made it seem effortless. Seranading the ladies on one hand and the next having everyone jumping and singing along.. 2: @heyheyblinkybill Thank you for taking us through time travel via your music -the past, the present and the future (That's what it felt to me)...His beat, music, zeal- open for all of us to enjoy and experience.Now since I fee like I know you, can I call you Blinky? :-) Where can I get a physical copy of your album-need to listen some more? 3: @sautisol Thank You for an amazing performance and taking us through your past and current albums. You did not hold back, and everyone got to enjoy watching you guys showcase why , 10 years later, you guys are still, "Wale Wasee". You had everyone on "Kujiachilia Mode" , not a simple feat..:-) #10yearsof #Blanketsandwine Was all forms of Moto...Moto...
  • Congratulations my dear @muthonidrummerqueen Last Sunday you were not playing, you slayed and took us all to "another place." Muthoni is one who does everything she puts her mind to, with passion..Her music, her dance, her drum play and her brainchild Blankets and Wine @blanketsandwine Thank You for being You and sharing You with the world.. Muthoni shared her 10year music journey with the us and the world on that Blankets and Wine stage- and she left nothing behind.. It was also the 10th year anniversary for @blanketsandwine and they truly threw a #10yearsof #Blanketsandwine concert/party . Congratulations Congratulations. Blankets and Wine was Moto Moto....Loved it ..You all need to get her music :-) :-)
  • Second up, there is always the debate-Can one ask for a second platter or meal? Can one ask for extra drinks while on an airline? My practical, tested response: Yes, Yes, Yes The meals served on @flyethiopian were so good, that I asked for seconds. I also enjoyed their wine, so I asked for some more .I also liked their juice options, so I asked for some...Feel no shame asking for seconds whether for food or drinks. You paid for your ticket right, Maximise that cash :-) They served me without giving me a judgemental side eye, Smiles all through ... Any of You ever also ask for seconds or are you too "scared" about what your seat mate, or air hostess will think? *Disclaimer: A) In case others beat you to second requests for food, or the specific one is unavailable for seconds, that is not a shortcoming on the airlines front. Just means, too many of you liked their meals-thats a plus yes :-) B)In regard to alcoholic beverages, always drink responsibly.... https://www.wangechigitahitravels.com/ethiopia-airlines-the-new-spirit-of-africa/ #ExposingbeautifulAfrica #Africa #Travel #solofemaletraveler #travelwriter #travelblogger #femaletraveler #TravelAfrica
