Life Goes on....

It is hard to believe that time has flown so fast. In less then two weeks we embark on our quest home. The past month here in Kampala has been a lot of fun. Lots of work, and lots of play. I will miss my house mates here a lot when I return. So lets see... lets talk about the high lights of the past month.
One... There was a strike in the taxi park. The government decided that only new taxi's could run in the city. So all the old taxi's decided to strike, and they threw rocks and began a riot. There were fires, and people died. We were not allowed to go down town for a while...
Second... I learned that the only reason there is poverty is due to corruption in government. We have learned all the ways to eradicate it... and the only reason that it is not happening, is due to corruption.
Third... inspired by the office (the TV show)... we are having GO ED Olympics... the opening ceremonies started yesterday.... every one is way more into them they they should be!! haha.. there are consumes, events EVERY day.... etc... Bruce the man in charge of Go-Ed even wore a toga and had a torch run. We almost burnt ourselves. Then we went to eat at the Beijing restaurant down the street to kick start a fun week of events. I feel like I am at summer camp.
Fourth....Sam from Rwanda came to visit/work... so thats pretty exciting.
Well... time is rappin up... and its almost time to go home....
