Weekendd

Two of my friends came to visit this weekend.  Phil Wilmot goes to my school, he studied abroad here in another program while I was here and fell in love with a girl named Suzan Abong.  So he's back here for the summer and they're traveling around Uganda visiting various people.

It was great to see them, they're very cool with just chilling.  We never had an agenda but just had a good time talking, slowly walking to various places like town and visiting some people's homes - oh and we also watched the Ghana/America match!  We were in a small semi-restaurant in town, with the first goal people glanced at us to see if we were cheering or not.  Phil and I were hardcore cheering for Ghana.

Never eat before you go to the home of a Ugandan, they will feed you, lots.  We went to Concy's home on Sunday, she lives in one small room with four her sister, friend and two orphaned cousins.  Regardless of her living arrangements, she welcomed us and cooked us fried cassava and beans.  Delish.

In other news, two Americans came to the Centre yesterday, they'll be here for 3 weeks.  One is a teacher and one works at a college, they seem great, it's interesting having other Americans here.  The staff kept saying "your friends are coming," despite the fact that I didn't know them at all.  Our country would be a lot different if we considered everyone to be our brother or sister as they do (at least within tribes) here.
