I join my Medellin-based lawyer Alan to discuss a a recent unfortunate incident where I was “scoped,” kidnapped and robbed in Colombia. We explain the phenomenon of scopolamine attacks in Colombia and what the appropriate legal response is following an incident.

I visit a development in Nairobi offering newly built, entry-level apartments starting at $17,000 USD for a studio, or about $25,000 for a two-bedroom unit. I explain why I would not invest in this project despite it being so cheap and also likely being a good investment. I also visit the construction site of some off-plan apartments that I purchased in the Westlands neighborhood last year to check on the progress, and have some interesting conversations with the Chinese developer and others about day to day living and operating in Kenya.
