[Nairobi, Kenya] My Flight to Nairobi straddles three continents, 13 hours of flying time and oceans of sea water and desert sand. The initial 6-hour flight brought me in Amsterdam to languish three hours in the busy Schiphol Airport, before continuing on to Nairobi on another 7-hour flight. North America to Europe to Africa. Three disparate continents just a plane ride or two away from each other. But if the demographics onboard flight KL0565 from Amsterdam to Nairobi are any indication, Africa is still the downtrodden, the unrepresented, the absent continent among the three.
