2. never count on a ugandan being on time. they will be at least 45 minutes late to everything..sometimes more
3. ugandans LOVE jboog and american music which they call "country music"
4. ugandans have noooo idea what the phrase "how old are you" means. instead you have to say, "what is your age"
5. uganda has the BEST fruit in the world. pineapple is what we are currently living off of, no joke
6. ugandans love musungu's or white people because they think we are all this friendly (meaning saying hi to them and waving to every single person on the street..literally) when in all reality if they came to america that is not the case at all hah sadly
7. having power in uganda is a BIG maybe. we finally got our power back today for the first time since Friday night
8. africa NEEDS a target really really bad
9. kids here think that they can rub the white off our skin haha but once they figure out they can't, just love to hug you until you pull them off you
10. the word "good" is not in the people's vocabulary here. instead everyone says fine. if you ask someone how they are they say "hi i'm fine" or if you say hi to someone they will just say "fine" back instead of saying hi all together haha
BUT, with that all said. things are still great. here are some more new pictures for everyone!
our room with the mosquito nets covering our beds
one of the schools here in lugazi where we live
a little fruit stand here in town
the nasty meat they sell here that we refuse to eat...for obvious reasons
Tator,
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures particularly the children. What an awesome opportunity you have to serve! I'm excited to hear more about your project as it comes together. I think it's interesting (and good!) the people want education. They know it's the key to a better life. Happy to hear you finally have electricity. I'm sure you are too! The fruit looks great...the meat not so much. Well I'm off to mutual at church. Love you! Miss you!
Cool stuff, Tay! Don't get eaten by a crocodile!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Jordan
