bizarre

I got a djembe drum. I have wanted one for a long time, but they are fairly expensive in the states. Here I bought a full size one for $25. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Julia and rob were both here for about a week. Julia left today. Sunday the guys gave her a grasshopper to eat. So ever since then she has been randomly mentioning that she ate a bug.

Sunday I went to church obviously. And on the way thru the slums I was accosted by a cigarette and beer wielding Ugandan walking like a gay man. Sounded like a gay man too as he explained he was a transsexual; a woman trapped in a man’s body. I told him he would last real long in Uganda. I turned to go the other way and he followed me for a while shouting he believed in the god, bible, homosexuality, beer, faith, love, basically everything. Eventually he left me alone. Got tired of me walking and saying go away. I think Uganda can be bizarre.

The other day at the site, I threw a bag of garbage outside to collect later. A girl came over and asked what it was. I told her it was garbage and that I didn’t want it. She grabbed it and ran off. A few minutes later I found her and 2 other kids sorting thru the contents of the bag. They took most of it. They wanted our garbage. It wasn’t even really anything interesting, just product wrapping and cardboard. This gives a new meaning to poor and rich. I cant imagine living like that.
