Thursday, October 30th, 2008Hey folks,
First of all welcome to all the new readers. I have been tickled pink by the fact that even though my writing frequency has reduced a little bit, the blog’s readership and subscribers have kept on increasing and so thanks to all of you and welcome to the new readers.

Mwangi and Coach Caroline Discuss Culture Shock and the Psychology of African Immigrants
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008Let me apologize for constantly interjecting with”Yup!”, “Yes!” and “Mh mh” all the time. The mindset I went into this audio with was that it was a discussion as opposed to an interview and so that’s why I kept making those interjections.
That aside, I think this interview is extremely valuable.
