I am really starting to miss being in the US, dont get me wrong uganda is great but my home is in the states, i miss my car, i miss driving on the left of the car and driving on the freaking right side of the road and not left like these idiots are doing. I catch my self 3or 4 times a day trying to get into my car and im on the wrong freaking side. GRRRRRRRRRR, no rules and regulations, no lights, no nothing. I mean its good in a way but everything and everyone needs some kind of system to follow.. i mean come on fix these roads already... im gonna take some pictures of these roads so you guys can see how fucked up they are....most of the roads are not even paved unless your down town kampala which is completely different..imagin you are in dc antd you are on your way home and all of a sudden the road turns into a dirt road with fake me out speed bumps that are so freaking huge, normal sedans cants go over them with out scrapping the bottom of their cars. Its just madness, so much poverty that makes me think of how rich i am and how much we take for granted.
Still have not had any kind of meat, except for some fish i had today, i mean the tilapea is freaking awsome, but everything else like chicken, pork and beef i have not touched. But despite of it all i feel great, i eat salad twice a day, beans everyday and sundays is fish day, Edmunds favorite food, oh and alot of fruit which is very expensive...apples and oranges dont grow here so they import them, oh btw i forgot to mention that i found this tuna in a can with sunflower oil that is amazing so i plan on eating that 4 or 5 times a week if i can afford it, anything that is imported in soooo expensive...can of tuna in the states cost what? like a dollar, well its 10000 shillings here which is about 4 dollars, for one small can of tuna! i mean thats crazy i dont know how people here afford to eat? if you dont eat local food, which is rice, beans, chapate(tortilla) you will go broke, a meal at local place will cost 4000 shilling thats with a bottled water...thats not even 2 dollars. but a can of tuna cost 4 dollars....im gonna have to import some tuna from the states :) anyways, the weather is amazing. never hot during the day and very cool at night, i havent had to turn on the ac since ive been here...which is a good thing cuz my body is like a furnace and produces alot of heat on its own. so im pretty happy about that.
On a different note, i need to get coffee to the states, and we dont have anybody on that side since im here and atrac is in new zealand...we are starting to get some orders but cannot full fill them due to the fact that i have no one there to ship it for me, so if anybody is reading this and know of someone who wants to make some cash, which will not be alot at first but once we do get a steady demand for it, it could be a very easy and alot of money, basically im looking for a logistics person who can go to the post office and send a package, its really not that hard and if the volume gets too big i would rent a storage unit and keep the coffee there. Once the coffee is roasted and packaged it has a shelf life of 2 years, so please if anyone knows anyone or even if you want to make some extra cash hit me up and we can talk about it in more detail. think about it like this, once i bring this company state side we are gonna blow up. we are planning to have a warehouse to store coffee and a shop to sell...and if things work out we will open up a distribution center somewhere and then the possibilities are endless. people are always gonna drink coffee and i have a superior coffee here, coffee is the second most commodity sold in the world next to oil. there is so much coffee trading that the coffee industry had to split up the arabica and robusta, arabica is traded in NYC and robusta in London..its amazing how much volume is sold and consumed by people. so people think about it and let me know... i havent taken any pictures this week because i really havent been anywhere, but when i move into my own building/office then i will add some pics. i made a huge mistake by not bringing my dress shoes, pants and suits, cuz now i need them, im starting to approach alot of cafe's and all i have to wear is jeans and tennis shoes...so automatically im not respected, but once they hear me talk and see our product its all over, dont judge a book by its cover and we are all guilty of that. pictures to come soon
