Stereotypes and Summer activities

There are a lot of stereotypes about Kenyans, however not all the stereotypes are true. The most famous stereotype is all Kenyan people run very fast, yet it is not true. The second very popular stereotype is that every Kenyan person is very kind indeed that’s true. In Kenya you can practice different activities. For example, in the summer you can play volleyball on the beach with your friends, football in addition you can practice rugby. Moreover you can go diving because there is a very big and deep ocean. What about the summer events ? There is a big event consisting of going to the beach dancing all night and having fun with all your friends. It’s the Summer Tides event in Mombasa.
