“Right there, was a sunken bar,” I told my friend about Slims Bar, which was there before Cheche Steakhouse on Nairobi's Ralph Bunche Road. He was visiting from Romania.
He is a doctor with OCD [Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder] which is the worst kind of doctor because they keep wiping the damn table with a serviette and moving your glass around to face Bucharest. I’m a writer, he’s a doctor. He likes order, I like controlled chaos. Beats me how we are friends. We were at Cheche and they had a deejay playing an amazing soul/ new jack swing, something we both enjoy, now in our mid-forties.
