October 7th, 2010
I am sitting here in my hotel reminiscing about my first two days in Uganda, in Africa. As I look around the room and listen to the sounds, I can't tell if I am in Toronto or London or Kampala. It is a bustling city, not unlike the others. The sun has set, and while there are no street lights, it remains busy. I arrived here on (yesterday) Wednesday morning, after travelling for about 27 hours. I hadn’t slept in over 40. I was jet lagged, and tired, and desperately wanting a bed. As soon as I stepped off the plane, all of my senses had been aroused. As we walked into the airport, the first thing I see is an advertisement for the iPhone 4. Where am I? I thought. That alone blew all expectations I shouldn’t have already had, right out the door. After seeing that, I decided that I would no longer assume or expect anything, as difficult as it might be.
I know this wasn't written today, but I haven't had time to upload it - and hopefully they will be posted on the day I write them from now on.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
