Things I Love- Things I am Tired of

I think this will become another continuing list, but here is the start...

Things I Love:
- the beautiful landscapes of Uganda
- the smiles on the faces of children
- chapatti, a hard boiled egg, avocado and Top Up
- Group 2 of the IC Teacher Exchange
- Impromptu dance parties at Katherina’s
- Bell beer
- Seeing chickens running down the road
- Women carrying a baby on their back, a jerry can full of water on their head, and bags in each hand
- Kope Café and its “western” food
- The students at Sir Samuel Baker School
- Simone, our house kitten, who is taking care of our mouse problem





Things I am tired of:
- red dust EVERYWHERE
- immense amount of trash everywhere
- terrible 3 inch foam mattress
- African time
- Chalkboards and dust
- Brushing teeth with a water bottle
- Sitting side saddle on a boda boda because I am in a skirt
- Skirts
- Squatting over a hole in the ground
- Being stared at
- Body Odor
- Acholi food, except beans and rice
