Day 10 and 11

These past couple of days have been kind of a blur due to the fact that i have been sick with malaria. But i believe i did not experience malaria the way it was suppose to be, for example the doctor mentioned to me that it usually lasts about a week and depending on my immune system it could last longer, i was diagnosed with malaria sunday afternoon and tuesday night i was feeling almost a 100%, which i am very thankful for.

On sunday my good friend and soon to be partner in crime here in the coffee business DR Atrac Aryan Kay arrived and we have been having a blast. for those of you who are reading these blogs and know atrac you know what im talking about. The guy is a trip and he loves kampala and loves coffee so we have alot of things in common. Our host Mr Edmund has been treating us so well that i do not want to leave. for the past three days edmund has been taking us to his local spa and we have been soaking in the sauna which feels great. the life style here is very very relaxing if you have money.

There is one thing here that i do not like which is the meat, my god the meat here sucks...maybe im just used to the meat in the states but man, i can not get used to the taste of the meat. For those of you who know me and know how much i love meat, can understand where im coming from. There is nothing better than a juicy american steak. But the problem does not end there, the chicken here has no meat on it either its pretty much feather and bone. In a nut shell i am not a happy camper eating wise, i mean how many times a day or a week can someone eat fish? there is only one kind of fish here that is eatable and that is tilapia, dont get me wrong the tilapia here is freaking outstanding but eating it for dinner 6  times a week? come on man i cant. i miss my variety of food, i miss the PHO....oh man do i miss pho what i would give for a #12, extra meatballs, white onion and green onion in oil right about now.....i miss my moms cooking...so in short i think i am going to try and go vegetarian :(...how bad could it be? no meat for a while i think it could even be healthy for me.  everyone always says vegetables can supply the same amount of nutrients as red meat and chicken so i think i should be ok. anyways  the main point is that the food is not as good as i thought i was, but on the other hand the vegetables and fruits are AMAZING. specially the mangos, watermelons, passion fruits and bananas. i have always liked mangos but the ones here are freaking delicious, and its not like you have go and find them, they are everywhere and they all taste the same. so anyways if anyone wants to send me some food like iranian or anything else please feel free to do so :))))))) here are some pictures of me and atrac and me tasting some coffees.
