I moved into my little house this weekend & spent the afternoon haggling for household goods in the local market. I’m hoping that my landlady – who shares the compound – will teach me a bit more luganda & show me how to cook a local dish or two… outside of the compound, I’m on a little cul-de-sac which has a primary school at one end & a few dukas at the other selling eggs, vegetables, washing powder & charcoal. The rest of the street is dotted with rather run down palm trees, roosters & of course, pot holes!
On Saturday, old met new, as my VSO group met the existing Kampala VSOs in a bar downtown. There are quite a few of us – mainly from the UK & The Netherlands, working for NGOs & in the public hospitals.
& other tales of Swann-ing around in Africa...
