All i have to say is WOW, i have been drinking and testing so much coffee its freaking incredible. So far in the past 2 days i have tested anywhere between 400 to 600 cups of coffee, all different kinds of Ugandan coffee. This training is very intense, alot of information is coming from every person there. check out the pictures of the facility and my tasting and spiting coffee. After about 4 hours of tasting coffee, we are seperating coffee and picking out picking out defects. I am going to need alot of training for this. anyways after a couple of hours of looking at the coffee bean and learning all kind of abnormalities of the coffee bean i finally got to go and see how the coffee is being sold. Kampala is a crazy busy city but its alot of fun...
On our way to Entebbe airport to see some supermarkets about coffee we get pulled over by the police, everyone gets out of the car and start to negotiate.. basically you have to pay them to let you off like a bribe, long story short we ended up giving him 5000 ugx which is about 2 dollars...its crazy how corrupt these police officers are they pull over so many driver with fake radar guns that dont even work and demand money with black mail. anyway we paid him off and we are on our way to lake victoria (BTW i took a bunch of pictures but some how deleted them), such a beautiful place....
very very very long day i just got home at 930 so about to eat take a shower and sleep
