Outposts: De Nile
Tuesday, May 06, 2008 - 03:59 PM
Our guide Sam Nabaasa brought us to see the source of the Nile today. It's not every day you can say that. And you know what? There were no tourists. Apparently white-water rafting is much more popular as a tourist destination in Uganda. Wonder what it's like? Check out my very short video with Sam as our guide.
Do I have to specify that the video it's about the Nile and not white-water rafting? Oh..whatever.....
In the afternoon we had lunch and a very lively discussion with 20 students from law and public administration from Uganda Christian University in Mukono.
The students were passionate about the US presidential primary. They were eager to know how the next president of the US would work with Africa. Senator Barack Obama was the clear favorite with the students; they cited change and racial harmony as reasons. A discussion on HIV/AIDS led to another discussion. A number of students, male and female, didn't believe that equality between men and women could happen in Uganda. More on that and their thoughts on President Bush and President Museveni later.

oh doo go try the bananna beer
all banannas are clones from seedless plants propigated by cuttings so ev ery type tastes the same at the same age
but the beer whooo hooo that works
i think the current variety is suffering as it is nor resistant to a black fungi that contaminates the soil thus redering it liable to extinction as there are no more varaites available
evad
The blog is great but more on banana tasting!
I don't think you've yet reported on the results of your banana-tasting experiment. We're in tremendous suspense over here. Love the blog and all the photos--keep 'em coming!
