Hello! I'm from Sweden and visiting Kenya for vacation. I just wanted to say that you people are THE KINDEST people I have ever seen. I have been to China, India, USA, and many other countries. Never have I seen so many people smile, be polite and laugh this much.
Be proud of this. Not many countries have this culture. Take good care of it.

Blink twice if you're being held hostage by the ministry of tourism and forced to make this statement

Sadly I didn't get the same treatment in the Netherlands. People there are cold and serious all the time like life is that serious. Maybe because I was African and used to the vibe in African countries.

We only expect you to spend otherwise, its not natural kindness but a monetized one

Thanks.
I would however like for Kenyans to prioritise Kindness over niceness which I don’t believe we do right now.
Side note : One of the things that’s stressing me out is that high social order seems to have a correlation with low connectedness/fun/niceness/spontaneity.
How does Kenya get higher social order without compromising its social fabric ?
Any anthropologists/urban planners/psychologists in the house ?
