In Uganda

Up until now most of my blog posts have been dealing with what is going on at ABIDE. Well this one is going to be different. First starters it doesn't talk about ABIDE. This one will consist of odd, interesting, and funny things. All of them I have seen happen, done them, or heard it said. 

1. In Uganda it is possibly to lose power with out losing power. (I could charge my phone and run my mosquito repellent. Other then that nothing worked, not even the overhead light.) 

2. In Uganda the operation of many scientific laws is suspended when it come to transporting things on a bicycle or motorcycle. (I have seen 4-5 people, 6 bundles of bananas, a pig, a twin-full sized bed frame, and that is just a few of the things I have seen)

3. In Uganda most of the creatures here will bite you if they are given half a chance, this includes the locust. 

4. In Uganda most of the national foods either come from other countries, or the plants to make them come from other countries. (Corn, potatoes, matoke, cabbage, etc)

5. In Uganda it is perfectly normal to have something like a can of corn for breakfast when you are up early to travel. 

6.  In Uganda you have to be careful what you say to other missionaries concerning countries you have been in. They can and will turn them in to a joke or pun if given half a chance. 

7. In Uganda it is surprising the amount of thing you can learn to cook with only an electric kettle. 

8. In Uganda being up to 1am is late. Unless you are loudly playing a keyboard that can be heard in every room. (My room is at the end of the line and I could plainly hear it)

9. In Uganda a mouse running around your room only draws your attention because it is a break from different things you are working on. 

10. In Uganda more then just insects jump at a computer screen in a dark room. (Had a baby gecko do that before)

11. In Uganda they use some hip and trendy words in their advertising. One that were popular in the US.... about 5 years ago. (words like "fresh")

12. In Uganda your schedule is constantly ........ haha just joking about that. You are lucky if you even get to make a schedule more then half of the time. Last moment tends to be the name of the game. 

I may add more of these later on, those are just the ones that I had thought of. Hope yall find some of them as funny as I have
