It is. I've spent 30 of my years in Africa living in 4 different countries, war zones included. There is certainly lots of hurt, but I love it. I lived 9 years in the US for university and they couldn't believe that I would leave my job in the US (I was in Washington State) to come back.
That’s a real shame. How much can friends bring in with them? The Scottish blend is a nice tobacco, isn’t it?
Well, we haven't had any problem bringing it in. I just got 6 ounces of Stokkebye, so I'm set for a little while.
Beautiful. I lived in Wales for a year, and I'm sorry I never made it up to Scotland!
welcome. I think at least since I've been here, you're the first person to tell us they're from Uganda. And Lake Victoria looks amazing in all the pictures of it I've seen.
don't forget that most people live in mud huts according to t.v. writers.
One issue I've noticed with t.v. writers is they tend to write things more like they were when they were children. Like 90's t.v. shows where schools act like it's the 1970's. And I think back then people really thought Africa was not a modern in any way continent and also they based their stories off of the serials they read as kids. Or at least that's a partial theory on why t.v. writing can be weird.
Very true. It's easier to write stereotypes, isn't it? It's lazy to just base on what people think they know, but that's some all around the world. Funny you mention mud houses too-- the image is one of primitive backwardness. Many in Africa have "modern" houses of course, but people still use them, because, well, they are actually brilliant, useful constructions that use locally available materials. And they are the cool inside despite the hottest sun!
The Serengeti is amazing! I've only been once.
makes sense. I went with the huts instead of talking about spears.
