More pictures...

After an enjoyable day at the hospital, I went to the market and got some fruit salad with one of the Swedish medical students. From there caught a minibus back to the flat and decided to spend some quality time at the Internet place. Although the Internet is slow, my boredom while waiting for the pages to load is alleviated by being able to watch Uganda's version of C-SPAN. Yes, literally, there is a TV channel of the Uganda Parliament playing in the Internet place. What is weirder is that there is a group of people watching it. So far it has been a 3 hour debate on whether or not to increase the tax on cigarettes.

Anyway, here are some pictures that I decided to up load during my Ugandan government political education is taking place.


On my minibus ride back to the flat, our minibus (called a "Matatu") ran out of gas. We had to wait in the minibus which was stopped in a busy Kampala street while the driver ran with a container to get some gas. While the bus was stopped I tried to practice some of my butchered Luganda greetings which got some smiles and then asked if I could take pictures. This is the picture of the woman and her daughter who were sitting next to me. She didn't speak any English, but I said her daughter was very cute and I think she understood. (The little girl doesn't look that happy in the picture, but she was smiling for most of the ride).


A series of super boring pictures of our flat (now I don't know why I spent so much time up-loading them):

Our beds, protected by mosquito nets. I am trying very hard not to get Malaria this time. I share a room with two of the med students from Sweden.

Kiasa, one of our housemates. She is very nice. You can see our kitchen in the background. It is a little small, but it very sufficient.

Here is our dinning room. I am sorry that this picture is a little blurry, I didn't realize until after I had spent about 10 minutes uploading it. The sweet mac belongs to Theresa, one of the Swedish students.

This is our view from our flat. It is of an identical apartment building! We live in a pretty nice area.
