at one point, my work address was:
next to the nigerian high commission which is next to the italian restaurant next to casablanca (a club).
i got so used to these kinds of specific instructions in kenya that when i went to visit the states and was given just an address, i was a little bit confused and wondered whether i was in the right place even though the street, the house/building number, and the apartment number matched. when my friend finally arrived, i asked her why she didn't just tell me that her apartment was above a cuban restaurant because she could have saved me the trouble of being laughed at when i asked the taxi driver, more than once, whether he was sure it was the right place (at which point she promptly laughed at me too).
