Finding Geniuses at Universities
One would think that there are more geniuses at universities then the same percentage in normal society. Actually that seems to be the case, although we cannot say this for sure because we do not go around testing the average citizen. Many people who excel at their job or work are geniuses and we just don't know it.Did you know that most geniuses leave school? They get tired of it because it is a challenge for them. Not all of them leave but some of them. Some of them find a certain subject or a group of subjects so interesting that they stay to learn all they can. Ask a genius sometime;Why did you leave the university?rning or late afternoon is the best time to walk around as there’s more activity, although most houses are residential these days and the streets are rather quiet, except for the honking of horns as the cars edge their way round blind corners. This tour can take anything froWhile Mombasa’s Old town doesn’t quite have the medieval charm of Lamu or Zanzibar, it’s still an interesting area to wander around. The houses here are characteristic of coastal East African architecture, with ornately carved doors and window frames and fretwork balconies, designed to protect the modesty of the female inhabitants.

Sadly, many of these have been destroyed; there is now a preservation order on the Remaining doors and balconies, so further losses should hopefully be prevented. The Mombasa Old town conservation Society is encouraging the renovation of many dilapidated buildings.

From the outside there’s little evidence what any of these buildings were once used for. To flesh out their history, it’s worth picking a copy of the booklet ‘the old town of Mombasa; A historic guide (Kshs 200) from the tourist office or the Fort Jesus ticket office. This excellent guide features old photos, a good map and a building by building account of the various structures-as well as a description of the unusual trolley service that used to run through the city.

Turn the corner at the end of the street and you’ll enter Gov
