Louise is outside a bar in Mtwapa with one of her Kenyan boyfriends Peter, who is thirty year younger than her. Louise is having two relationships at the same time. In 1997 Louise married a Kenyan man, they moved to France and had a son, Joshua. Shortly after Joshua’s birth, Louise discovered that her husband had an affair and she filed for divorce. Now, she has moved back to Kenya where she can be able to live a more comfortable life with the money she has and at the same time let her son know his roots she says. “Mostly it’s middle aged or old women who come here. They have usually been divorced and have gone through bad relationships. Some are overweight women from Europe. They love big women here in Kenya. The women feel desired, flattered and loved. The first men they meet are the men who work at the hotels or men who work on the beach – men who basically all want the same: to get as much as they can out of the white women as possible. And love makes blind, so when the women have reached that point they don’t see it. And even if you try to explain to them what is going on, they won’t see it because they are totally in love. And then it is too late. “ Louise explains.
