Lwakhakha So on the next free weekend we had, we decided to visit our friends Benny and Finn in Lwakhakha (silent L.) This is a town which borders Kenya, which meant we were able to take a quick stroll over the border just to buy some paraffin as it is apparantly cheaper there - althoguh probably only buy about 10p but y'know every little helps...On ther border there was one of the most disgusting sites I have ever seen. There is a massive tree that is literal...

Weekend Fun I haven't written this for ages, been verrry busy! Our weekdays have been pretty much the same as ever - but our weekends have been pretty hectic over the past few weeks! Our first thing was that our friend Blair came to visit (his partner Gregg had decided to go to the other side of the country - he apparantly couldn't deal with spending a weekend with 3 Scottish people!) We didn't do much for the whole weekend but it was good to be able to have s...

Week 4 and 5 Insane to think that I have been in this crazy county for a month now. Time really is flyyying. The last 2 weeks have been fairly uneventful.

Althoguh the drivers originally claimed they knew where it was, it was soon ob...

Food Despite being told "you don't got o Uganda for the foods" me and Justinwe are managing to eat rpetty well. Admittedly, food given to us by other people is generally pretty bland - porridge, posho and beans, rice etc. Basically carbohydtae central. Their helping sizes are like mountians, its acutlaly ridiculous how such small people eat so much. I will probably be rolling by the time I get back. Bananas are now beignning to form the main part of my...
