state of the art



Max and Simon participated in another swim meet on the weekend. This one was at the new Kasarani Aquatic Stadium.

The Moi International Sports Centre was built in 1987 on the outskirts of Nairobi. The Centre has a 60,000 seat football (soccer) stadium, a 5000 seat gymnasium, and the Aquatic Stadium.

These modern facilities provide a unique toilet experience. It took me a few minutes to figure out where to put my feet! And I am still not sure which way to face....... This style of toilet is very common in public washrooms (men and women's).The Moi Stadium hosts the local Kenya National Football (soccer) Team, called the Harambee Stars. The team has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup. In fact, in 2006 FIFA suspended Kenya from international football (soccer) play for corruption in its Football Federation (government interference). The FIFA World Cup Soccer is played every 4 years and is next scheduled for June 2010 in South Africa.
