... squeeze in. Kakati, ‘extend’, of course, means to make something bigger. Anti, at first glance one could think that it is used totally wrong, because instead of me making myself bigger, they ask me to make myself smaller for others to fit in as well. Yet, when one thinks about it (, which I admit I have done more than enough), what they are actually asking is to make the space bigger and this of course means I have to make myself smaller. Thus, the command ...

... receipt, he would be allowed to pick his car. At this point I realised that she did not actually intended to fine him officially, yet what surprised me was that she took him into the police office. Are they doing it openly like that? Smart Adholla quickly threw his purse into the window before following her into the office. She looked at Helene and said: ‘Don’t worry, Madam, I will handle this!’ Ja, sure you will, my dear! Now, the paper said that ...

... silverback - lying on its back and occasionally staring at us. Moved slowly around to see more of them including my first silverback mountain gorilla. We moved around to the leader of this family - where we got within 5m of him - and he proceeded to mock charge us, making a lot of noise in the process. I was right behind the guide and Christine was just behind me and everyone just froze...running is NOT a very good idea in this instance. One of the ...

... their leaders to a largely ceremonial role to avoid potential political rivals. Now, Museveni had prevented the Kabaka from travelling to an area of Buganda, the Kanyunga district, inhabited by a renegade rival group, the Banyara. The reason for this refusal was the fear of violence. Surely, the Baganda took to the streets in support of their Kabaka, because they saw this travel ban as an insult and harassment and as an attempt to undermine the cultural institution of the ...

... br><br>The groom is supposed to bring loads of presents to the bride&#8217;s family. Now, I am not sure how much of it is a must and how much is an adoption as modernity smiles its tempting face on culture, but the presents were many: baskets filled with sugar, tea, oil, bread, butter, salt, crates of drinks, local brew, goats, sofa-set, rocking chair, envelops with money, gas stove, kanzus (traditional male dress) and gomesis for the brothers and aunties, a ...

After breakfast the three of us who flew in a couple of hours ago decide to take a nap since we've been flying all night. I set my alarm for noon, but end up turning it off and rolling over and going back to sleep. We get up around 1pm, when the kids start splashing around and having a great time in the pool near our room, clean up, have some lunch overlooking Lake Victoria, then head into ...

Hi all, so we made it. After a long journey, 3 flights and 10 hours in London in between flights, thank you dear Joan for our fun trip to Windsor, even though it was hotter there than here. On arrival it was awesome to see hezzy donning a canadian hat, which went well with ours, plus T shirts and flags it was Canada day after all. Lovely to see our wonderful daughter. 3mins ...

... rim and toasted our engagement. We could not be happier! <br><br>The following morning we made our way to Kabale and then to Lake Bunyoni. An island on the lake was recommended by other travelers and instead of spending the next week of our time in Uganda taking long bus rides to get in as much as we could, we decided to take some time to relax and celebrate.

The elders told us we could enter the first ritual hut to see it which was great.

We then had to chew coffee beans as a number of the ...
