Waiting in Africa

It seems that everything takes longer to accomplish here in Kampala and one spends a good part of the day waiting.

It started raining here about a week ago but mostly at night to early morning, it has caused a lot of havoc with the power in many places at our hotel with on and off power burnt cables and no Internet
Funny how a person becomes accustom to technology and all the stuff we get use to in Canada

Early morning

Today I went with my friend Millie to see her doctor, we went very early in the morning, some of the pictures are of the drive there and some are from the hospital. 7:30 in the morning and there is people waking riding just a busy place from morning to night...

After seeing the old hospital where he was working all morning. I appreciate even more how lucky we are in Canada with our health system such as it is
Here everything cost money from the exam... to ex rays to surgery
 around the hospital there is many connecting buildings we where kind of late for the appointment so I didn't get a chance to take more pictures.

At the hospital I saw this woman I asked if I could take her picture she told me in her language that I should learn to speak her tongue Millie translated

Around Kampala Uganda

Kampala, estimated population 1.300.000, is Uganda's capital as well as its administrative, communication, economic, and transportation centre.
It is located in the southern part of the country on Lake Victoria. Kampala: it is said to be built on seven hills, the city centre is just one of them, Nakasero.
Despite its proximity, to the equator, Kampala has a moderate climate, largely because of its altitude.
Kampala is one of the few African capitals that were not founded by the colonialists.
On one of the hills that characterize the city at present, the kings of the Baganda-people had long established their court.
In 1890 Captain Frederick Lugard, representative of the British East Africa Company, built a fort on the opposite hill and the city grew a lot around it.
In 1962, Kampala replaced Entebbe as the national capital.
Unfortunately, much of the city was destroyed after the 1979 overthrow of Idi Amin's dictatorship and the subsequent Civil War.
In just a decade, since President Museveni came into power in 1986, Kampala has rapidly recovered and is now a safe, busy and lively city with an undeniable vibrant nightlife.
