So I am in Uganda now. The country is very much similar to Kenya are a few thing different that I have noticed. 1. The street food having meat on a stick you can get meat on a stick for goat, liver, beef or chicken for about 50 cents or less.(in Kenya there is only really beef on a stick ) Talking about food, matoke is more popular. It is mash cooked bananas. It is harder find in Kenya but I like it better there bc they have a good sauce with it. 2. There are many people with sewing machines on the street. I was even surprised how many men I saw. 3. The roads are better here. 4. Kampala is so much more safer then Nairobi(also have to watch yourself there!) So that is all I have to say about the culture for now.
I went bungee jumping and NILE river rafting these last few days. Bungee jumping was really fun but I was really nervous to do it but that was not going to stop me. You are supposed to belly flop off but I just kind jumped(it was still ok). I was the first one to go and it was such a rush! Later that day we went to a brewery tour. It was cool to see how beer was made but that gave us no beer!
Yesterday I went river rafting on the Nile River. It was so much fun. I would say I was more nervous to bungee jump. We(1 PCV and 2 other American friends) were with a group of older people( like 40s). Our group had to choose wild or mild rapids. My group said wild but the other one wanted mild. We did wild! rapids have 6 classes. We were doing class 5s. We flipped the rafts twice. It is a little scary but you have a life vest and people ready to help you on kayaks. I was so tired last night my friends went out last night but I was to bed at about 10.
Today we are going to this lake near Rwanda(Lake Bunyonyi). A lot of people have said the lake is very beautiful. It will be a lot more relaxing then yesterday ( even though yesterday was relaxing too where there was time to swim in the Nile) I will see a PCV friend that is in Rwanda in a few days as well. CAN WAIT TO COME HOME ONE MONTH FROM TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't believe you went bungee jumping and rafting on the Nile. Glad the rope held and the piranha's didn't get you. You've got more guts than me (although that probably doesn't say alot). Make it home in one piece, will ya? Can't wait to have you back in the U.S soon!!!
