day two

Hey Guys.
So i'm in Uganda!! I got here round ten am yesterday morning. i was picked up by leslie the real uganda coordinator and driven from entebbe to mukono which took probably about 1.5 hours. it was lovely seeing things that i remembered. It is soooo greeen and lush here. i mean tassie is pretty green but uganda is really different and so much greener i think :). i am the first tassie that anyone else is the program has met...they are mostly from us and uk and so they keep asking me questions. one didnt think that ppl lived on tassie that it was just like a little nature strip:P oh and the only thing they do know is the tasmania devil cartoon from warner brothers :P i laugh. neway so i got to the guest house at mukono and met Lee my volset coordinator and some of the other volunteers. Lee and i then went for a walk around mukono...one street but very busy and she told me lots of things about uganda and my stay etc. about 3pm i was dead from jetlag so went to bed and pretty much slept thru to 6am this morning. Nobody around so i walked down to the internet lab and here i am. suprisingly good internet connection. its just as fast as home. awesome! :) so its 10.40 am here and i think 6.40pm at home :).

This time is alot different from last time i was here. last time was VERY western and touristy!! this time not so much. so its a shock but means i get to experience real uganda i guess :). So squat pit toliet and no running water is just a start but also probably the worst things. hopefully when i go to my village on sunday we might have a toliet :). oh well u get used to it. The guest house is on the main highway so very noisy but again you get used to it. its very hot well compared to tassie lately but am also hoping to get used to it:) something that will horrify my mum :P is that i am going to be riding the taxis alot. taxis are known as coffins on wheels :D. ahhh well. :) anyway time about to run out so bye bye y'all :)
