Welcome from Utah. That view is amazing, thanks for the picture.
beauty of the internet - a man in Utah(also known for vistas) is sending digital love to Uganda
Welcome from Sydney, Oz.
One of my sister-in-laws spent some years nursing in Uganda post-Idi Amin. Actually in Idi Amin's province. Many interesting stories of her time there.

Extraordinary lady, all 5ft nothing of her. She is now retired.
She nursed in the Middle East, and Mozambique (during their civil war) then some 10 years in the Australian outback.
If it was really so bad why did it win seven Oscars? Why did Robert Redford, Meryl Streep & Jim Varney agree to star in it?
Welcome from Montréal, Canada. Lake Victoria's a beautiful place to enjoy a pipe.
I don't think I've ever asked this question before in such a context.... What are you smoking? And how long will it take before it completely ruins your life if you don't stop smoking it? I am pretty sure you're thinking of another movie entirely. Unless there is are Oscar categories for direct to video movies, or that was the year the Oscars tried to muscle in on the Razzies Turf.
I have seen it and I can't imagine it either. It's really a very low quality movie and very low quality comedy. There are two scenes I remember.
One scene Ernest sees some Swahili tribes men. And claims he speaks Swahili which he learned working in a record store. And then he tries to talk to them in the worst Ebonics ever. It's sounds better then it was. And then Ernest does the worst imitation of an Indian person as disguise and again no matter how it sounds to you it sounds better then it was. Everything about it screams thrown together in a week.
Almost forgot. I've known a few fans of the series who watched it and thought it was just crap. After hearing about it and assuming that I wasn't reporting on it 100 percent accurately. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
My step son was in South Africa with the Peace Corp when covid hit, and the state dept jerked them all back home. For the month he was there, he spent most of it just adjusting to where he was. I know that he is itching to get back over there. Welcome.
Yeah, I worked with a lot of Peace Corps folks. They often got evacuated quickly because the State Department was trying to avoid any disasters that would be bad press.
Hope he gets back soon.
Oh no, he came back with the first wave of covid, before we were really even sure what it was. He has been working with a firm that restructures inner city health plans now (or something like that). But, it really was a shame. He had learned French, German, and several African languages, and it had been his goal to work in Africa with the PC since he was 10 years old. He had even been on a waiting list to be in the village that he was with for a few years.
He will most likely go back as soon as he can get reassigned to an area that he wants to be in.
