What a day!






(These two pictures are from the slums in Kampala)


Today was pretty good! I had to pick the girls from on Boda Boda. That was pretty fun, especially with Rayah talking the whole way home. Speaking of Boda Boda's I was on my way home from getting take-away and a Boda Boda clipped my arm. A taxi (public transport van) was coming to the shoulder where I was walking and clipped the Boda Boda who clipped my arm and he fell. I am fine, but my arm is a little sore. However, the boda guy was scrapped up and his Boda had a few bits come off. He said he was alright. All the people who were witness to the crash was telling me sorry for the stupid taxi. I was trying to tell them to take care of the Boda guy.

Anyway, I got matooke and gnut sauce from a take-away restaurant near Kitoro Taxi park. I was going to get some corn on the cob that had been roasted over coals, but I needed a bit more for dinner. I am going to start eating more take-away and street food because it is so much cheaper than eating at the hostel. The hostel has put a Mzungu price on all the food. The matooke and gnuts from Take-away was only 3,000ush when the hostel charges 7,000 for the same meal.
