We got the idea for this blog from our friends in Ecuador, the Benedicks. Sometimes people are amazed at what is and is not available for us here in Kenya. We are fortunate to have Nairobi so close by, because there really is a lot that we can get in country. And even just over the past 10-12 months we've noticed a lot more showing up on the grocery store shelves. We do the bulk of our shopping at a place called Nakumatt. So, for this post we'd like to hold a little contest. We'll list off 15 items and you tell us which ones you think ARE and which are NOT available (hint: 7 are and 8 are not). Then we'll post what's available and have you guess how much things cost. Post your guesses in the comment section, and we'll post the answers next week some time. A future post will feature stuff from our local store "Toyworld!"
