Fish Hacking
... buy the entire thing.
When I was at the local fish market, a customer had special ordered Nile Perch, but didn't want the whole thing so I was luckily able to I purchase part of the fish.

Back in Kampala - the safari trip, part 1
... Often in the middle of nowhere following a dirt road somewhere.
On the Monday, the 15th, we started the day with a hike around a swamp. It was flat and easy to walk, and I think we saw six different types of monkeys/apes. Sitting the trees, walking on the ground, playing, eating... We also saw so many different types of birds that I have no idea what they are called. In the afternoon, we drove to some crater lakes and waterfalls and hiked around ...
