Hi Forum!
Am currently living in Tanzania and enjoying it nicely. I have been told that Nairobi is quite a bit larger with a bigger economy than Tanzania and that I should take a trip to see it myself. I have been to Cape Town which I found remarkable, one of the best cities I've been to before. One observation I had about Cape Town compared to Tanzania was that the shopping malls there had a lot more consumer activity going on than in Tanzania, where there's only one real mall that's consistently busy.
I noticed there are lots of malls in Nairobi and was wondering if the culture there is such that lots of people are dining out on a regular basis and the malls are busy, or if they are slow during the week days? Tanzania for example doesn't really feel as though it has enough consumer spending yet to support more than 1 or 2 malls, whereas I notice Nairobi has many. Even the KFC's that have come here in the past year or so have struggled to really pick up as Tanzanians don't really eat out as often as in other places they believe.
