a shock coming for the chaotic world of Kampala. on the plane, there was
a notice telling us that polythene carrier bags are not allowed in to
the country, being a Ugandan, I took this as one of those notices no one
adheres to so I was pleasantly surprised to find there was someone
waiting by the baggage carousel to take away all buvera he saw.
On the way to town, the roads were lit, and properly paved including
sidewalks. These guys are very ready for CHOGM! On top of all this the
grass is well maintained and there are flowers lining the dual carriage
ways. The city is clean, with no paper, kavera, banana peel in sight! I
think we need to hire their mayor to teach Ssebagala a trick or two.
after this visit, I am going to brush up on my French and Swahili,
everybody here speaks at least 2 languages, either English and
kinyrwanda, or French and kinyrwanda or Swahili in combination of either
French or kinyrwanda. I am embarrassed that I can have a communication
gap and yet I am from East African Community
