On Thursday we went to Moi International Sports Centre to watch the local Mathare United football game vs. Nigeria. It was an afternoon game, so we were able to sleep in a little bit since we all know sleep is something we have been lacking on all of these adventures. We grabbed lunch at the game. Me and Noah had pizza and it was very good. It tasted just like regular pizza, I had cheese and he had meat pizza. MaryBeth, Alex, and Mark all had fried chicken. It was very weird that the concession stand served fried chicken but that is a very popular food there. They actually just had a KFC open in Nairobi, which is the first American food chain in South Africa. The stadium was just newly renovated and opened back up in July so it was really nice to get to see the brand new stadium. The Mathare United team ended up loosing 3-0 but it was still really fun to watch. The weather was beautiful and we got to see all kinds of people (the fans are very intense). Lunch (2 slices of pizza, 3 fried chicken plates, 5 drinks) came out to a total of 2,843.11 Kenyan Shilling which was 28USD. The ticket price was 812.317 per person which is 8USD, the total therefore was 4,061.585 which is 40USD. I really enjoyed the game, one of my favorite parts of the day was getting to ride the Matatu which is privately owned mini-buses. It was decorated really cool, and also very crowded but I really enjoyed the uniqueness of it. It had a really powerful stereo that was blaring African music and also had a TV in the front. The driver was really nice and was able to tell us all about the stadium we were going to. The ride back was so much fun because even though they lost everyone was still going crazy on the bus, and we got to ride and a different one so we got to see the uniqueness of each Matatu. The total for the trip there (from the hotel to the stadium) was 250KsH per person which is 1250KsH total. The total for the trip back (from the stadium to the hotel) was 260KsH per person which is 1,300 total. The total for the transportation for the day was 2,550KsH which equals $25.64805USD.
Transportation: $26 + Ticket :$40 + Food: $28 = $94 USD
