For those of you who are not familiar with the happenings at Makerere University because for some weird reason you do not have any reason to visit the hill,(((oh and maybe you come to the hill past 9 0'clock to carry out some other activities))), it is official.. You do have to pay to drive onto campus.

Now, the other day i was feeling sorry for the poor chaps and yes, they do operate under the same principle as Multiplex in town except they don blue as opposed to the orange.

Its bad enough that as a parking attendant you dont get paid that much but to have to put up with Ugandans who do not want to pay up, is even worse. This is possibly because you pay the 500 shs each time you drive into campus which means that should you be chasing that ever illusive transcript, be prepared to make a contribution to these guyz.

Atleast Multiplex people have the trees in town to act as buffers against the sun, these Equator guyz are prey to the elements. The other day it was raining and these guyz were really struggling to get that 500 ((think they myt get like 20% commission, they are vigilant!!!))). The driver looked like they were asking inane questions, meanwhile the Equator people where being goofed continuously in the down pour! Twas a site to behold!!!
