Did get called Muzungu (whitey) a few times but it was all friendly and we never felt threatened.<br><br>Also saw a few things on the back of a moped that i think British police would not approve of. As well as full families on the back, we also saw a live goat and a pane of glass about 2m x 2m... tres bizzare!!!<br><br>All good here, <br><br>Speak soon<br><br>Dave and Marit x<br><br><br><br>

(By the way, I actually looked &#8216;to foot&#8217; up in my faithful servant, the Oxford Advanced Learner&#8217;s Dictionary (had to be sure, right?), and &#8216;to foot&#8217; exists! Yes, it does, but only ...

... of the NGO I am working for, which I didn&#8217;t, so she handed me my papers and said: &#8216;Next!!!&#8217; With a puzzled look on my face I did not move an inch at which point she told me to complete my paper work and come back then. Oh come on, no one even told me that this morning and it was me who asked whether they wanted anything from the NGO in the first place at which point I was told to bring the contract. Her smile just grew bigger and she said ...

... mum, please would you prepare Gran for this potential addition to the household.<br><br>I get a new arrival tomorrow and another one on Monday...I only know that Sunday's arrival is called Vicky and Monday's Ian....Ilka will also be back for a few days next week before we both head off for a weekend in Murchison Falls and then she is off to Kenya and back to the UK.

... The groom has these wedding meetings where people pledge and discuss (remember the one with the transportation as the only topic) different points concerning this kwanjula. But it seems to me that Mayega spent more money on calling up people and reminding them to pay up than he actually got in the end! <br><br>The actual event is also quite special. Both sides of the family have some kind of spokesperson, who negotiates on their behalf. Surely, the groom&#8217;s ...

Even though he did the talking and I just smiled, nodded and thanked them at the right places, they still addressed me. He thanked me for coming with him, because he would not have been done in time for lunch without me. And as he explained, in ord** for a car to run you put in some fuel, so in ord** for Sam to work, you need to put in ...

... to meet with Sarah, a Ugandan woman who works with the Department of Education. She briefed us about the Ugandan school systems and the differences between the southern and northern parts of the country. Kampala (capital) is in the south, and Gulu (where I&#8217;ll be teaching) is in the north--the former is considered more affluent and "advanced", so there are some animosities between the two regions...Who knew the US and Uganda had so much in common? :-) We talked ...

... of course protective fathers. Check out the photo that Clint got of the Silverback holding the baby in his arms (one of the few photos of the Silverback because he seemed to avoid the tourists more than the others). It was so incredible to watch the gorillas stare back into your eyes and into your camera and see them watch you with the same intensity as you to them. Their eyes, hands, expressions and mannerisms can be so similar to humans. The hour we ...

Work has reached the ring-beam level just below the roof this week but we have now run out of funds. The beam needs reinforced concrete so we spent what we had left on steel rods for the beam and for gravel for the concrete. The progress has been good though - it looks like a building now with three large, distinct classrooms. All it needs is a roof! I almost got bitten by a venomous snake on site on Tuesday when ...
