Hello from it-feels-like-June-in-Iowa Kampala, Uganda.
I am in one of many internet cafes haphazardly strewn amongst the balance of haphazard Kampala.
Things you notice right away:
-chaotic traffic- U.S. demolition derbies have more regulation
-the irony of at least 2 traffic police per block standing on the curb
-the city landscape very much resembles a landfill with a population and crazy traffic added.
-people of all ages hawking wares at traffic lights (yes, they are mostly obeyed)
-the absence of wastebaskets and garbage cans
-the wide variety of vehicles carrying products (this morning: a bike with 6 full size mattresses on the back. The native woman with us noted only that he was overloaded
-the beauty of the Ugandans
My internet cafe hour is over.
