"Take coffee at the Yaya and you'll see the pupils from Denis Diderot - the French school's just down the road. Yaya's got one of the best bookshops in Africa and there's a bakery doing wonderful patisseries just like in Paris. Yaya's a mall here. Parvenu Africans and Indians prefer Westgate Mall but give me Yaya over Westgate any day. Westgate," he added scoffingly, "is flash and its conspicuous consumption and its bogus chic. Yaya's the place for a good coffee and while you're drinking your java at Dorman's you'll see the lycée brats, with their easy money, with their long hair and their ghetto jeans down on their hips. All shouting in French .. or rather in their Franglais."
"Teenagers are noisy. That's the deal."
