Don't get robbed, buy water/mudproof boots and buy a surgical mask to cover your mouth and nose.

Abti Shidow,
It depends on your budget. For $30 a night you can stay at Nomad Palace in Eastliegh. Its pretty good for $30.
As for entertainment, I recommend Casablanca Chaka Road and Lenana on Somali Wednesdays or Westlands (Galileo, Rezorous, Black Diamond, Gypsies) on Thursday nights.
Places to eat:
1. Art Caffe in the new Westgate Mall
2. Hashimis in the Nakumatt UKAY mall
3. Rayaan in downtown near Jamia Mosque - good food, low prices
4. Java Cafe is aight

Abti.
There are a lot of Rer Abtiyal who are moving to Somalia and getting big jobs. I am amazed to find them all over.
