Entebbe & Ange Noir.

actually should have been posted yesterday...While the thunderstorm rages outside, I have difficulties in finding the words to describe the daily events. Not that there would have been anything very dramatic to write about. the day started by arguing with nandish about the definition of a public good in a local taxi/bus and a bit later pointing out to myself and Nandish’s grandma few cultural differences regarding haria family’s religious beliefs and my own family background. then we spent the day with Nandish in Entebbe, which lies about 30 kilometers from Kampala. the traffic was annoying as usual, but we made it to the animal orphanage in time to see all the animals (monkeys, chimps, lions, boar, kob, birds, cevet cats, crocodiles, & few others) without a major fuss. With Nandish, these caged fellows were actually quite fun to observe. Went to eat for a beach restaurant of a fancy hotel, I had few beers and a dip in the lake Victoria. hopefully did not get any parasites… also saw the botanical gardens of Entebbe, which were quite nice too with cerubus monkeys and fisherman on the shore. during the day Nandish had some mysterical discussions with the family, while I was reading a book and this seemed to affect the mode of the evening as well. after listening to karaoke at the garden shopping mall restaurant and watching Nandish writing text messages we ended up thanks to N. to Ange Noir, which was a bigger and probably better night club than the ones we already visited. Despite being quite tired I was pestered by N. to dance and actually had fun shaking the booty with several black girls. Unfortunately, the most promising girl, Valentine, was a Kenyan and would only stay until middle of next week, when we would not be back from the safari in Kenya…some irony innit. nevertheless, the boring evening turned out for a surprising good night out.
