Census 2009 means another impromptu Kenyan holiday. The night of 24 August, the government was sending around people to take a census of all the people residing in Kenya. The government thought that it would be best to take Tuesday, 25 August off as to give the census people time to count and get a better, more accurate count. I heard of some strange questions that people were asked. "Have you ever had an abortion?" "How many children do you have?" (asked to a single guy) "How do you dispose of your waste? Sewer line or long drop?" The Kenyans had to even declare their tribe, which caused some ruckus because that was the big issue from the election violence.
My holiday was not too eventful. I just hung out on campus with the other teachers. It was a well-needed and pleasant day off.
