Sorry for the long absence my dear blog. Work is just crazy. No other way to describe it.

But for once, things non-work related.

I spent the last weekend in Kampala (the only time I ever got off!) with an amazing friend I met in Norway, who’s also working in Kampala. It was so nice to meet, chat, go to New York Kitchen (OMG – the brownies), have shisha, and go dancing. I really wasn’t ready to go back to Tororo by Sunday. Hence I might be going again this weekend (especially since my friend is leaving Uganda…). I know, I know. Once a city rat, always a city rat.

Kampala’s so much nicer than what I remember. It’s so much cleaner. Less crowded. Nicer people. I really don’t know why. Maybe it’s just because I’ve gotten used to life in east Africa. Cold water showers don’t even faze me now.

Even more than the city comforts though, I really, really enjoyed seeing my friend again. So much to talk and discuss. There aren’t many people who understand how I see development. She does. Grab on to those friends, I say. Rarer than diamonds. Life is unfair when they make all the cool people live far away from you do (and that’s part of the reason they’re so cool – they’re always moving to new places!). Teleportation should just be invented already.

Ok, I’m ranting. But I’m tired. And there’s lots of work tomorrow.
