    Hehehe, most of us Kenyans in the rural areas live off grid. Only city people glamourise it. For us ruralers it's normal life.

      Recently visited home and brother in law in subukia said he wished he had money to buy game system for his son . He has not seen the negative impact of such things. Life always seems better on the other side.

    This "off-grid" phenomenon and the way it's glamorised is getting boring. Same with trad wives and "homesteaders."
    Slow living is the norm for majority of Kenyans yet it's being packaged to look unattainable. Nothing to see here.
