Life line in UG

A time last year around end of July early August. I was changing locality and was hopeful about a change that would be great to me and family, the hope I had no one or anything would destabilize it or sway it away. Time has come and gone and I have seen many things and learnt many things. To me this has been a lifeline that has exposed me to a different side of life.

Kampala as they call it the capital city of Uganda, the city of the seven hills which is in the tropics hence the heat that cannot be explained. Never in my life I ever thought I will ever be in Uganda at any one time, things happened and here I am in a land I have not love for, yeah you read right I have no love for. It has kept me away from family and that alone is not something fun to do. Been from place to place and home is a better place to be. I have a few disappointments that I will share about, the fact that all the stories I was told about hot women are lies and the other fact is life is cheap in Kampala. I have been here 6 months and I have not met any hot woman to level Kenya is and its women, they have a great body which almost every woman is proud of but it just ends there. The rate of immorality is way high and possesses a risk to the foreigners in the country for they are the target. The life and the basics are way too high for an average Kenyan who comes here to stay....there is the talk of the country is land locked but that is no reason for basics to be expensive beyond means. The health care is questionable and it reminds me of a time I was unwell and could not find proper medication to get well. Too much I have said about the wrong about this place, besides the power problem (how could this pass me) I have been in darkness for the best part of my stay in UG (yet they provide Kenya with power) there were those days I even forgot how to switch on lights coz I would come home find no lights and get to work with the same conditions. I was not sure if my bulbs are working. It’s just strange how a city can be dark like half the time. My DVD player has never enjoyed a session of playing movies the way you would be in doors on a weekend and watch movie after movie. NKT! Someone says I get used to it I just can’t do that. It’s just not one of those things to get used to.

There is some good here, the night life....one amazing place to be for a weekend. The night clubs are an investment and for sure I give props for that. The music is plenty and fun to listen to but not for long, the luganda language will bore you with time. The entertainment world here is outa the ordinary and that is one thing the country Kenya can pick and maybe perfect. What else is here to marvel about?....(am thinking) well the foods, and I mean the local foods is attractive, the way these guys are into their culture and placed it everywhere is amazing as far as the food is concern. Even though' not all the food types are good to me. The concern of food in this country is just amazing as long as its traditional, the fast food joints are down, Kenya we adore fast food and we have worked hard to ensure its great and always there.

It’s been a time filled with a lot of things, seen the better side of the lake, and I have had fun being here but this is just it. I can’t take this anymore. It’s like bad dope, you can’t take it a lot, and it’s time to kiss this place bye. I have appreciated all the good I have seen and learnt but that's just it, it was fun while it lasted but I got a home which is not falling apart, a home more appealing and I can id with better. I have nothing against UG, I am thankful for the hospitality even though' it needs work. It gave me the feel of being away from home and appreciating home better. This is a life line I will always remember, never to work here but come for holiday but not during Christmas. I have learnt a few luganda words but they will never help.

I love my country and there is nothing wrong with that. I am happy I can travel to any place in my country and be able to communicate and be understood. I don’t need a translator. Swahili ni lugha ya kuunganisha watu. It was a great time but home is best. Narudi nyumbani, I am coming home.
