ryangoestoafrica: Picture Time

Three weeks into the term, and I’m just now starting to teach. Why would the timetable be created before school starts? that would only make sense! But really this is just to be expected, and I’m closer now to accepting the fact that time as we know it, does not exist here. Before Uganda I thought I was a more patient person than most, but now i'm not so sure. No news is good news? So.... picture time!

You can really taste the black

No one even stopped to question us when we climbed this cell tower. One thing I like about Uganda is that people aren’t obsessed with keeping you safe here, common sense suffices, and in my case is usually ignored. If you’re going to do something stupid that’s your own prerogative. All the corners haven’t been rounded for your safety, although I don’t think Ive seen a right angle in a building yet. At the Entebbe zoo, the fences are angled to keep the animals in, if you want to jump in there with the lions go right ahead. A dam was recently finished at bugagali falls, result being the falls are now a lake. The road that led to the parking lot now runs straight into the lake. Without any warning signs, the bus driver taking kids from a Budaka orphanage had to slam on the brakes ran into the lake.

You might think it looks nice but that’s because you can’t smell it from up here.

This is max the fearless russkie. If can be clinbed he’ll scale it, if its edible or plausibly edible he’ll eat it, and if it’s a parasite hes had it.

Says so much. Sums up Ugandan education rather nicely

Paying village children to push us up a hill, I think tax payers would approve.

A little reading at camp, keep food in the tent at your own risk.

Zoom in to see a Baboon chowing down on a baby antenlope. These guys have fangs big enough for me to wonder just how hungry the people up north who hunt them are. On the safari national park guide mentioned that the antelope are very sweet but not as tasty as hippo. Of course we wanted to try hippo but she said that it is very illegal they only eat them when a poacher has killed them, but sometimes they just eat them anyway.
