What a crazy week! Finally today i visited Kampala's down town. WOW..... for those of you who have been to NYC's Canal St in china town you know what im talking about. Imagine canal st but 100 time bigger and more shops...freaking people are selling everything, its crazy...i heard muzungo all day.. because i am a muzungo they think i have money. Anyways we walked around for about an hour, i took some pictures but they dont serve them well. for some reason Ugandan's feel violated when you take video or pictures of them with out asking first, so while sitting in the car and taking video and pictures im getting cursed at but i dont understand because they are cursing me out in lugandan which is uganda's 2nd language besides english. i have also decided to learn the basics of lugandan...at least i would know what they are saying a little but it is a very hard language. I will give you guys an example: Wasuze otyano Ssebo means good morning sir, but Ossibye Otyanno Ssebo means good afternoon sir....see the word otyano and otyanno...same word right? nope they have different meanings. Hopefully in a couple of weeks of studying i will understand a bit. now its late and i must p90x then eat and sleep....thank god tomorrow is saturday. oh btw for my family i am drinking the best fresh coffee in the world and today i learned how to make my first cappuccino.
