It has been a great first week in Kampala! It is really true what they say on the VisitUganda web site; Uganda has got very nice sunny and rainy weather. Sometimes even at the same time:)
The house in Kisubi is great. It's about an hour's drive from Kampala (depending on the traffic situation) only a few steps away from Lake Victoria. I am staying here together with Tormod who is going to be teaching at St. Josephs. Our nearest neighbours are a printing press and some nuns. And at the moment we have police guards at the gate because they are printing the school exams here.
On Saturday I went for my first drive on Ugandan roads; I was stopped by traffic police after about 150 m, not I don't think due to any strange driving behaviour on my part-however, driving here is a bit like being in a video game, and it's a full time job trying to avoid other cars, people,bodas, chickens,goats, more people, hippogriffs and who knows what else, so following traffic regualtions is really the last thing on your mind. Sometimes the best strategy is to close your eyes and cross your fingers. I think perhaps that was my passanger Tormod's strategy. I kept my eyes open. Most of the time.
Tomorrow I move to Kings College Budo for a few days. To get to know my way around there as well. And soon it's time to start working:)
