I think I started to understand Swahili or you started to write in Turkish :)
BurundiWinner wrote "congrats sana" and I had to read it 3 times to realize it was not half Turkish.
"sana" means "to you" and my brain interpreted it as "congrats to you". I should be looking for Swahili classes in Istanbul :)

Asante sana MaKiki for your kind message above..

BurundiWinner said:
Nickelly congrats sana. I am so happy for you,it's surreal. Well the rest of us are getting closer and closer, more excited and scared.

Don't worry about me, my swahili is fasihi and fluent, probably better than most people here, I lived in TZ for almost 10 years of my early life.

Today's devotion
Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, ‘Here is an opportunity for me to celebrate like never before, by God's power, I will have the ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary
James 1:12
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” James, the brother of Jesus Christ. :)

I think the 5$ is a bank charge coz the embassy uses a kshs account. So if you have kshs, you pay the exact fee without a charge but if you have dollars you pay 330 plus 5$

MaKiki
Thanks
I think what the person meant is that if you want to carry Kshs please carry extra $5 but if you carry dollars carry exactly the reason being their exchange rate is ksh90 per dollar na hapa nje dollar ni ksh86.2 so wewe ndio uta decide.

Visa day passport photos

Hey wonderful people,
Always nice to read your insights.
Got a query, on the passport photos to carry on the interview day...do I carry the ones i had on my medical day or is it in order to have fresh ones done.
My medical photo is ok but it shows some facial piercing that I would rather it did not...would it be an issue.
As usual thanks for your anticipated reply.

Karendi, the photo should be taken within 6 months, with BOTH EARS showing and on a white background. Those are the things that matter. If you dont like the pix you have, go take another one.You dont have to use medical pix.
