I have yet to see anything more badass in kenya than the maasai – well maybe a rick ross matatu (but more on that later.) take the coolest person you know (its okay if you’re thinking of me) and multiply their awesomeness by a million.
people in nairobi make fun of the maasai all the time, and they’ve certainly gotten a raw deal over the years but they might be the COOLEST people ever. I mean it take a certain confidence to herd your cattle through the middle of an enormous city, right?
example: when we were in the village, chilling down by the water this motor boat sped into the dock. no sooner had it bumped the dock then out jumped two maasai in all their red and purple plaid wearing, gauged ear, thin muscled glory. strapped at their side were two machetes. they walked up the dock and off into the village and left us completely in awe. also they just left their boat, apparently knowing no one would dare mess with it. they were like the maasai mod squad of awesome.
maybe it the traditional diet of milk and cow’s blood. maybe its their ability to rock crazy plaids better than the scottish ever could. I mean they wear shoes made of car tires. I can’t quite put my finger on it. but damn.
