We spent the last weekend and the days surrounding it in a typically un-Kenyan fashion. Hmm.

We borrowed the LCD projector and the sound system from the Dominicans (they use it to show movies at the schools) and watched a whole string of movies: Ocean's Eleven, Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy, Taking Lives, Stuck on You and the list goes on...

Whoever is responsible for the vast industry that is pirated software and movies over here is making money hand over fist. It is IMPOSSIBLE to obtain a legal copy of any movie (or music for that matter) here. You can buy a DVD with 5 or 6 movies on it on the street here for 500 Kenyan Shillings (about 6 USD)...

Sometimes the quality is poor (i.e. handycam), but still... A lot of the movies are decent, even good, quality...

Amazing. If I were the movie industry, I would not worry about pirating in America as much, and at least make it POSSIBLE for someone in this market to purchase a legal copy of a movie here... Of course, they would have to drop their wallet-gouging prices then...
