What I’ve been doing here a lot is talking, and talking about wide range topics covering love life, cultural differences, economy, politics, religion, engineering, exports and electricity. The topic of electricity comes up often as the power supply is something between cut of every other day and suddenly back for the day. One would think that this poses quite few problems, which would be solved as soon as possible by the government, but of what I learned from Nandish this might last as long as five years. talk about bad planning of energy supply… the World Bank is involved and it would be interesting to find out what kind of environmental impacts assessment they have done for the new hydro power plant.
but enough of that, I am here as a tourist after all.. so what have I seen so far... hazardous bodaboda (scooter) drive to town along pot holed roads, some military parade field/monument, which you could drive through with a car, taken a picture of the house of parliament from afar, which was interrupted by a guy with a riffle, the packed Kampala city center, haggling for a digital camera, (which still are rarity in the local shops) and the general flow unexpected things as cows walking past Nandish’s house or sugar canes on bikes.
