1. Happened to land on the eye magazine. Pretty nifty idea this is (basically, its a guide to Uganda-very touristy in its approach.. online version here (takes some time to load and is pretty hard to maneuver around, according to me atleast! )
Happened to land on a few bits and pieces i thought were interesting:
*** Indulge- Fine Food Delicatessen. Great Food, Fine wine, what else is there???
Open Wed-Sat 10am-4pm, Sun 10am-2pm
QN: how many people do you know who go wine drinking between 10 am and 4pm?
Conclusion: they are not in it for the money, cl-e-a-r-ly
***** Nile Horseback Safaris Short rides and over night safaris... cater for all abilities (whatever that means) Jinja, Uganda's adventure Capital!
Interesting idea this... wondering how many people would actually turn up.... please note that i am refering to the indigenous. Most of y'al would jaaaam to even turn up which is probably coz first off, these chaps at the office prolly wont even sign you up, prefering to ask instead if you are sure you are in the right place.
what's with ugandans anyway? so i want to do some weird stuff...tis no onez bizness but my own. Plus..im actually paying!!
****** The eye magazine people should be embarrassed, shy even! On their General information page, they talk about money tips and how despite what is claimed in some guide books credit cards are not widely accepted..... the ugandan shilling is quite stable against the dollar...... dollars are more welcome than Euros and sterling. Paying in dollars can also lead to some frustration.
Yeah, nothing outwardly embarrassing about that only that the notes are dated prior to 1990. what year are we in again??
i wld have sent them an email but if they are anything like every other Ugandan...err... tisnt exactly an effective way to get the message across. So if you know anyone who works there...help!!

2. why do touristy pictures feature wazungu allllllllllllllllllllllll the time?? i know we are trying to attract'em and these activities are actually talor made for'em but once in a while... im available to model ((grins))
which reminds me.. ever notice when churches are doing ads (okay, trying to tell us to go seek Jesus), the wazungu are always at the front of the church is groups at that?
i know we break out in song, "awa visitorz we a ape! 2 c u here in awa church" but people people!!
Isn't it really about Jesus and not who goes or doesn't go to your church???

3. twists! Imagine giving away parts of your body in the name of sustaining life only to... well... not sustain it per se. This is exactly what happened when 15-yr-old Alex koehne parents made donations of his organs. Alex passed away, from what was considered bacterial meningitis at the time. Later, after the parents insisted on an autopsy, it became apparent that he actually had a deadly cancer known as anaplastic T-cell lymphoma.
This was by the way, after his liver went to a 52-year-old man, his pancreas to a 36-year-old woman, and his kidneys to a pair of men, ages 46 and 64. Full story here.
Imagine the hooooorrroooor.
Careful Modo does not use the boots to kick me i shall then take socks instead.
damn, that is so sad, and the recepients of the organs also died...its bad.
On two, I'm with you. And pissed.
The Eye's website looks like a design horror. People don't know the value of minimalism.
And it loads slow like a slug.
:o)
What happened to the miniskirt? Obviously u folks are more online than a Brontok virus.
Give ME food that I can digest in between meetings / before the auditor walks in. Not these longeeeeish posts.
And you need Jesus. There is no Mbu about it.
hahahaha, you actually gave me lots of selah to do!
i hardly read the eye
Swirat, this font is extra small for my eyes...
Horlp..That's how my kid cuz says (HELP).
Where did the regulars go?
Maybe they are still waiting for the eye to open.
That story is so sad.
