I don’t get it
I love riding camels :D
Third comment
Lets hope tourism starts kicking in again.
Likewise
I like turtles!
Kenya almost descended into civil war earlier this year. So tourists stop coming. So there isn’t anyone to take camel rides. So this fella can’t afford to feed himself and his camel.
If I could, I would just hand that poor guy and his camel twenty bucks to last him for a couple days… Unfortunately, I don’t live in Kenya…
I sort of understood what it was about, but now I grasp a bit more thanks to your reply.
What I really didn’t get was, sad as this may be, how it is related to tech (which is what I thought rocketboom did stories on).
camels are really fun to ride!
1. I have never ridden a turtle. Maybe it would be fun. Especially if they are larger than the ones in the pet shops.
2. If the camel were shipped to Northern Calif, I might go ride it for $3.00.
Ruud, if you’re still there, slip the guy ten bucks. I’ll pay you back. Seriously.
The fortunes of carnies who pick a career based on the number of bikini clad girls they get to flirt with every day aren’t really a reliable indicator of a country’s economic wellbeing.
Talk to the guy’s running the Shell Game for the real scoop.
What if they enticed the tourists with a camel cigarette?
Jack camel meet Joe camel.
If this guy is paying for product placement I demand full disclosure. haha
Maybe they should trade in their camel for a crane.
I would so go to Kenya for the purpose of riding that camel.
lol its in dutch :)
I’de like to send that camel a few dollars.
If you didn’t catch my new political video yesterday, here it is again. And don’t be too hard on bman, his posts today are all tongue in cheek. I’m sure he understands the pain and suffering these 2 poor men are experiencing. Anyway, that camel’s HOT!

I love this guy. He treats his camel with love & kindness but I wish there was more fodder for it to eat. (just what the heck does a camel eat anyway?)
I only charge $1 for a ride!
Me too. Only $12 a day to survive? Had those tourists known, I’d hope that maybe they’d given him like, five bucks anyway.
Ruud Elmendrop… Riding a camel.
What a beautiful scene.
Please excuse the size of that pic! I usually stick to the 400 rule but I didn’t post it. thnx Jamie :^)
Hey! Where’d Jack go??
There has to be a race for that camel somewhere. It has a jocky!
