navigating kigali

There aren't any street addresses in Kigali. There are a few street names, but no one uses them. No Mapquest either.

So directions end up looking like these, which were just emailed to me. Note that this is for a 10 minute drive.

...

Directions coming from KBC, going toward the airport... Turn left at Chez Lando. Turn left again in front of the UNHCR building (Remera sign there.) Pass in front of the stadium. Road curves to the right. Turn left at first (only) paved road. After 100m you’ll pass “Isoko ya Remera” and the Kimironko bus park on the right. About 300m further, when the road just begins to curve to the left, watch for the four very short red and white columns on the left. (Rwandafoam store will be on your right.) Turn left onto the narrow dirt road in between the four columns. After passing small shops, stay on the left as the road seems to Y. (A sign saying “Ebenezer Evangelistic Mission – Kimironko” is in that Y.) Stay on that road as it curves by the charcoal making place up on the right, a church sign down on the left, and then eventually straightens out. After going bumpily past a church on the right, and then under some trees, the road will Y again (about 1.0 km from the paved road). Take the right Y. (If you stayed straight you’d run into a green/yellow/striped pink/etc. house.) Continue on that straight road until you see large yellow buildings on your right (which are the YFC training center and school buildings.) Continue past the "Jeunesse Pour Christ au Rwanda" sign on your right, and then turn right to park by the large brick building that is closest to the road.
