Some Pictures from Kitgum Town

Here are some pictures I took around Kitgum Town before the whole Typhoid thing happened. Kitgum is the biggest town in the district and has about 200,000 people. It has a very slow internet connect and power in some shops.

Pineapples anyone? Here is a picture of the pineapple stand outside of the market. The big pineapples in front are about $0.60 US. The ones in the back are slightly smaller and about $0.45 US. After you make your selection the pineapple sales guy will cut it up for you and put it in a plastic bag. The pineapples taste really good. It makes up for eating rice and beans everyday.



Here is an onion stand outside of the market. OK, so maybe it is not the most exciting picture ever.


This little kid was following us all over the market. He kept saying, "Buy my chicken, buy my chicken, buy my chicken." The boy just wouldn't stop. It was getting quite irritating. He wanted more than double the normal price for a chicken. We kept saying, "No, we don't want to buy a chicken that we don't need for 13,000 shillings that we could buy for 5,000 shillings down the road." But the boy just wouldn't leave. Finally we asked if it was alright if we took a picture of his chicken. After this, the boy seemed happy and left.
