A slight correction
Posted By: Jordan117Date: 9/25/08 3:12 p.m.

In Response To: Notes from the frame-by-frame (Jordan117)


: * The large words that appear periodically at the bottom-left corner of the
: screen are the names of neighborhoods in the city. The ones shown are:
: Tanaga, Lumumba, Mbaraki, Sidiriya .

: Tanaga and Lumumba are, as far as I can tell, fictional neighborhoods.

"Tanaga" is actually a mispelling of "Tangana", which is a real Mombasa neighborhood, so that's why I didn't make the connection there. It's similar to the Liwitoni/Liwatoni change in that respect.

Also, Lumumba isn't a neighborhood but rather the name of a major roadway.

And let me just say that Mombasa has about the most kickass neighborhood names on the planet.

"I live in Georgetown." YAWN.

"I live in Makadara." AWESOME.

(And it's doubly awesome when you learn that "makadara" is Swahili for "the omnipotence of God". I mean really. "I live in Omnipotent God City". How much better can a neighborhood get?)
