I went to Kakamega forest this past weekend. It is the easternmost fragment of the Guineo-Congolian rainforest and is rich in biodiversity. It alone contains almost as many species of birds as the entire United States. I'm not really into birds but it was cool hearing them all in the forest. The scenery was spectacular, the animals interesting, and the air was really clean. I can't stress the clean air part enough. I swear all the vehicles are from an alternate universe where maintenance was never developed and dirt is emitted from the paint. I am constantly coughing from the dust and smoke. I know I am in a developing country but all the data I'm working on regards acute respiratory illnesses and it is making me paranoid.
