Really a placeholder post.
I'm in Kampala, Uganda. It's another two-week assignment. The trip down was pretty uneventful -- saw the Nile out the airplane window, which was interesting. Bought a really horrible sandwich in Cairo airport, couldn't finish it. Overnight flight from Cairo: five hours to cover what took Speke and Burton months of pain. Oh, this century of ours.
The hotel is nice. Had Indian food tonight. Work starts tomorrow.
More perhaps in a bit.
How's the Indian food thirty years post-Idi Amin expulsion? Has there been a return of part of the formerly resident south Asian diaspora?

Hi NYCMTWNILS,
They've almost all come back, and they're running a fair chunk of the economy. After Amin, both Obote and Museveni were very pro-Indian.
The Indian food is indeed excellent.
