This is what? Another post.

I've been trying to remember lately how I was feeling before I left for Uganda last time. I do believe that I was terrified but no matter how hard I try, I can't remember. Maybe I've blocked it out. So this time, I thought I'd record a few things before I take off so I know where I stood before I was reimmersed in Ugandaland. Of course, this is all in the spirit of cultural understanding :0)

10 Things I Remember About Uganda:

1) Having dirty feet ALL the time. And most importantly, not caring.

2) Being called "Sir" everywhere I went.

3) Being called fat and learning to accept the fact that it was actually meant as a compliment.

4) Learning that you can point directions out just as well with your lips as you can with your hands.

5) Choosing a restaurant by what type of bathroom facilities there were.

6) Asking for ice and being told to come back later because maybe they could make some for me if the power doesn't go out.

7) "Customer Service" consists of either being completely ignored until such a time they feel like talking or being told that they don't actually sell anything on the menu and being looked at like an alien for even thinking they would.

8) Just eat it, don't ask, it's all you're getting so pretend it tastes like roast beef.

9) We were baptizing people in a lake where crocodiles were just spotted around the corner and we were just laughing about it...what?!

10) Learning to add questions in the middle of what? A sentence.
