SECURITY: Everybody frisked and checked

Superiority and class matter a lot when people go through security checks in Kenya which culminated in the resignation of former deputy Chief Justice Nancy Baraza, who allegedly threatened a security guard at Village Market in Nairobi. The trend is different here. People, even senior officials, are willing to be frisked by security personnel stationed in most parts of the competition venues. They volunteer to be checked as a safety precaution and respect security officers.

Scots very hospitable people

The railway system is the easiest means of transport here in the United Kingdom. The Scottish are some of the most friendly people and are known to be the most hospitable in the entire United Kingdom.
Unlike Moscow, Russia, where I covered the IAAF World Athletics Championships last year, which has an equally efficient railway system, understanding of English language here is quite helpful.
You don’t need direction and, if need be, the Scottish are too willing to extend help – from the hotel to all competition areas.
Real Friendly Games, these.
