General, mostly boring, Stuff
So, let's try this again.
I am currently sitting in an internet cafe on the campus of Makerere University, which is in Kampala. I'm also staying at MU in an apartment with Ryan and Natasha (ESW SEED people), while Steven and Ed (Iowa State University ESW people) stay in an apartment above us. Caroline, a Canadian in the same building and working with the Ugandan AIDS Commission (or something like that), hangs out with us a decent amount. There are also 3 Makerere University students that we're working with on our projects, being Steven, Thomas, and Tony. They're fun.
So far, most of our working time has been spent meeting with Makerere Faculty and our students to refine project goals and figure out what we're going to do in the field (the Kamuli District), starting on Monday.
Food so far has been pretty simple stuff for breakfast and lunch, and eating out in the dinner. I would definitely go for more complicated cookery, but our stove burners don't seem to be capable of boiling water, which is very sad.
In the future, I hope to write exciting topical posts about things like Getting Around, Food, Infrastructure, Labor, Security, and Shopping, but we'll see.
Have fun all!

Pictures! Pictures! Pictures!
What have you been eating when you go out?
I had ethiopian food last night..soooooo good.
Sadly, there probably won't be any pictures until I'm back home/at Olin, as I'm using a film camera and making text posts is hard enough, but we'll see if one of the digital camera people are friendly. Fortunately, there will be lots of pictures then as I'm almost through two rolls of film already.
So, yeah, food has been surprisely not exciting (Indian, American, Chinese one night), but there have been occasional more African lunches and such. Hopefully, there will be more of that when we're in Kamuli at our house. Have fun!
Ummmm...your blog ate your last post!
